Street lighting

Street lighting on a main highway.

Street lighting is used to make it easier to get about in built-up areas at night. It is designed to show you where the main features are, such as the edge of the curb and so on. It is not intended to replace daylight.

Street lighting is often yellow rather than white as this is supposed to give a better light to see with.

This video shows you different kinds of lighting.
