School Bus Parking Lot Lighting

School Bus Parking Lot Lighting

RE: School Bus Parking Lot Lighting

As opposed to a retail parking lot? Or any other parking lot? Why would a school bus parking lot be any different?

Doesn't a local ordinance dictate your requirements (0.5 fc) or such?

RE: School Bus Parking Lot Lighting

I agree with Twinkie, check the local ordinance or if this school property the school board may have a requirement. My parish is expanding its parking lot and the township has minimum lighting requirement.

Meanwhile, if you can find anything here is guidance from AASHTO related to park & ride facilities.

RE: School Bus Parking Lot Lighting

Not sure if there is an answer with the information provided. One would have to know the security requirements as well as the requirements for surrounding facilities.

RE: School Bus Parking Lot Lighting

Is it a "parking lot" for the school buses? (Then, no kids and the problem is simple security and local (on-site) maintenance (maybe) after hours. )

Is it for a school where the buses are loaded and unloaded? Then there "might be" some local requirement for light levels hidden deep inside some bureaucrat's handbook-to-keep-schools-expensive manual.
