Abstract The road luminaires have been treated as subsidiary electric apparatuses in the road although they are indispensable facilities which people use the road safely. Because of this misunderstanding, there are not many researches on luminaire supports against the wind loads. Therefore, a typhoon has overturned or damaged many luminaire supports without having sufficient structural safeties. The purpose of this study is to review the current design criteria and to suggest the improvement of design methods based on the structural safety and compatible with the site conditions of luminaire supports. The stress concentration around the inspection hole, which causes the collapse of luminaire supports, is analyzed and stress reduction method is suggested with the improved design methods.
