Abstract

Society for development of public lighting in cooperation with headquarters of traffic police of Czech Republic and with Ministry of Transport of Czech Republic and with BESIP continues with verifying the results of the study of impacts of public lighting on traffic safety in regions road passages – roads of I class to III class in urban areas. The standards for public lighting of road passage are compulsory but very often neglected. There are no defenders of quality-made road lighting. Because public lighting of road urban passage belongs to local town/village, there are being realized such projects under energy savings that are decreasing the traffic safety in such town/village. Towns are saving and people are Dying.
