As practices in road construction change over time, itis imperative for Jabatan Kerja Raya (JKR)
to continuously update and improve their standard specifications, These new specifications are
not only aimed at keeping abreast with current technologies but also to help in improving the
‘quality of constructed product. In unison, these new specifications have a significant positive
impact on the construction industry especially with the incorporation of new products and
technologi
Standard Specification for Road Works is en essential component in the road infrastructure
construction industry. This specication provides an improved guidance in the material selection
and the production of good quality workmanship and products, based on current best practices.
‘The purpose of this standard specification is to establish uniformity in road works to be used by
road designers, road authorities, manufacturers and suppliers of road related products
‘This document “Section 7: Road Lighting” is a patt of a series of improved specifications in the
Standard Specification for Road Works. This document was fully adopted from the three (3)
specifications published by the Flecttical Engineering Branch (Cawangan Kefuruteraan Blekirit)
of JKR Malaysia namely, Specification L-S1: Low Voltage Internal Electrical Installation,
Specification L-S3: Low Voltage Underground Cable and Specification L-S20; Road Lighting
Installation
‘The title of this document had been changed from Street Lighting to Road Lighting in order to
maintain the consistency of the wording used in the Specification,
‘This document will be reviewed and upslated from time to time to cater the changes on potices
and current requirements. In this respect, any comments and feedback rogarding to this
specification should be forwarded to: -
