As part of the road traffic safety program in Astana, commissioned by the Akimat of the city, a program was developed, and the design was produced for regulated pedestrian crossings with integrated specialized lighting to illuminate the approaches to the pedestrian crossing and the pedestrian walkway while the permissive traffic signal for pedestrians is active.

This idea is not novel and is a proven practice in global road safety to enhance safety at pedestrian crossings; however, maintaining a high quality of implementation is crucial. The primary objective of this technology is to illuminate the pedestrian crossing, enabling approaching drivers to clearly see pedestrians. Simply placing a luminaire directly above a pedestrian crossing is not an adequate solution. It is necessary to create a visible contrast between the pedestrian crossing and the road surface. This is achieved by contrasting the illumination between standard road lighting and the pedestrian crossing, using an asymmetric distribution of white light to provide a high level of pedestrian illumination from the driver's perspective, even from a distance.

In 2020, 15 sites with integrated lighting were constructed and commissioned for pilot operation:

• Tauelsyzdyk Street (near the "Astanamall" Shopping Center),
