2011-01-07 19:41:17.906006+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

From European road lighting technologies By Dale Wilken, United States. Federal Highway Administration. Office of International Programs, United States.

In Switzerland, experts emphasized the importance of dry roadways when conducting field measurements. There are, however, only a couple of summer months during which pavements are dry enough to be measured.

Uh. Yeah. So I understand the need for consistent measurement conditions, but this sounds a bit like "our standards are for situations in which the product is rarely deployed".
