As a result of our Lighting Roundtable
Public Works Departments are
"Going Green" for Safety
Many things were discussed at RIPWA's recent Strobe Light Roundtable. Exeter has decided to do some testing with green lighting (which studies are showing are more visable than clear or white especially in a snowstorm). We are putting together a committee to discuss having a recomended standard for Public Works light placement, intensity and color. If you wish to join this committee please email erin@ripwa.org
