The light sources' positions often have little to do with the real illumination effect. In many cases, in my city, cycle paths (in reality they all are mixed-use pedestrian and bicycle with priority by law to pedestrians) have been produced by converting former sidewalks. The lamp posts are those installed for street illumination and often are interspersed with street-side trees. Hence the effective illumination on the foot-cycle path is patchy. The only way to judge it is to cycle by night and see. The reason why this comes up now is that we want to map the cycling infrastructure as it really is, with the aim of producing the data for a critical map of the cyclability of Padova. All other parameters are already taggable, the illumination quality not yet.
