Normal Height Of Outdoor Road Light Poles

Outdoor road light pole purchases often fail to meet height standards, resulting in poor lighting, light pollution or a waste of resources. There are specific industry standards for street lamp posts. Different reasonable heights are corresponding to different usage scenarios, road widths and traffic flow conditions. Proper matching can ensure lighting effect and safety.

I. Streetlight Poles on Urban Main Roads

Urban main roads have high traffic volume, wide road surface and fast traffic speeds, so they require higher illumination range and brightness. The standard height of the standard main road lamp posts is 8-12 meters, the streetlights are high-power. The spacing is 30-40 meters. Higher pole designs can increase the lateral lighting range, reduce blind spots, meet the visibility requirements of fast-moving vehicles, ensure night driving safety, and are suitable for the urban main road network.

II. Community and Secondary Urban Roads

Traffic flow is moderate with a large number of pedestrians on secondary urban roads, ring roads and roads within residential areas. Outdoor road light pole height is mostly 6-8 m. This height provides a soft light with a moderate illuminance range and avoids strong glare. It caters to the needs of vehicular traffic and pedestrians for walking and leisure. The road lamp post height is moderate, the installation is flexible and the maintenance is convenient, which has become the mainstream choice for ordinary urban roads.

III. Country Lanes and Rural Roads

Rural roads and country lanes are narrower and have less traffic density . New roads do not require poles of excessive height . The usual height of a country street light is 3 to 6 m and it has a simple compact design which is suitable for narrow roads. The low-profile road lamp posts are more affordable, simple to install, and wind-resistant, which is appropriate for the rural outdoor environment and can meet the basic lighting needs of villagers for traveling at night and crossing fields.

IV. Special Scene Height Standards

In the scenic area, park, pedestrian street and other landscape places, we pay attention to the aesthetic and atmospheric, so we often choose 3-5 meter landscape poles with elegant and soft shape. The pole heights on highways and expressways can be 12 meters or more because of high speeds of vehicles and high visibility requirements. The open space of the industrial parks and factory roads is generally balanced with the wide-area lighting and the safety management of the factory, using 7-9 meter poles. The choice of outdoor road light pole height is an important factor to improve the lighting efficiency, reduce energy consumption and prolong the life of facilities. It is an important part of the lighting project planning.
