§ 15.01.1920. Intersection lighting.

Table 16 shows recommendations for intersection lighting in American Fork City based on the type of intersection and/or access.

Table 16. Intersection Lighting Recommendations

Major Street	Minor Street
	Arterial Street	Major Collector	Minor Collector	Local Street
Arterial street	Yes
Major collector	Yes	Yes
Minor collector	Yes	Yes	Yes
Local street	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Commercial access	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Residential access	n/a	No	No	No
Notes:
1. For purposes of these recommendations, commercial accesses also include multi-family developments.
2. However, if this affects the project or the local subdivision negatively, then and appeals process can be initiated.

 

In addition to intersection lighting, street lighting should also be provided, especially when roads are curved, or other design features make safely traveling the road at night more difficult without lighting. The type and frequency of lighting should be based on the context of the street including adjacent land use, architectural styles, and pedestrian usage. Making general recommendations for street lighting is beyond the scope of an access management plan. However, for reference in commercial areas street lights should be installed at one-hundred-fifty-foot intervals on opposite sides of the road and in residential areas at three-hundred-foot intervals on opposite sides of the road. Street lights should be installed at corners with at least one on every block. Mid-block street lighting is required if block lengths exceed five hundred feet. Street lights should be installed on opposite corner from stop signs unless otherwise determined by the city engineer. Figure 7 shows street lighting in a portion of the downtown core area that adds to the character of the street because of its aesthetics and pedestrian scale.

Figure 7. Street lighting such as this add to the character of the street and adds more to pedestrian safety than to traffic operations.
