The design of road lighting is aiming illuminance and luminance requirements for road lighting. In the process, various factors associated with luminaires such as luminous efficacy, light distribution, mounting height, spacing and maintenance factor are considered. However, there has been no restriction on lighting power density. In this study, lighting power density has been comparatively analyzed through a study of related data and a result of measurements on domestic roads. And, it has been analyzed by simulation results for road in which lighting conditions are variable. In terms of the limitation on power density for road lighting, road lighting can be designed using high efficacy lighting systems for energy saving.
