(3) One fixture may be placed on sharp curves where visibility is hindered or at other locations where unusual conditions may exist. The 500-foot distance should be observed where possible.
(4) Blocks which are shorter than 500 feet normally have lighting fixtures at street intersections. Blocks which are longer than 500 feet may have additional lighting fixtures as required. The 500-foot distance should be observed where possible.
