摘要：	Improvements in the quality of street lighting and the development of high performance retro-reflective signing materials potentially make unlit traffic signs more visible at night. TRL conducted a technical review, commissioned by Transport for London, into the requirement for local highway authorities to comply with the current statutory requirements for lighting traffic signs and bollards in areas with street lighting. This guidance document has been produced to inform local highway authority engineers when it is currently permitted to remove traffic sign and bollard lighting, and identifies future research opportunities that may lead to wider relaxation of lighting requirements. As well as reviewing the regulations and the appropriate British Standards, a whole life cost benefit exercise was conducted. This covered the costs of different types of traffic signing material, their luminaires, life expectancy and maintenance. In addition, the costs, life expectancy and maintenance of alternative types of illuminated traffic sign were established. Documentation was produced describing the process of obtaining official authorisation from the appropriate government department in order to relax the use of traffic signing without external illumination in areas with street lighting.
