IESNA HB-9 and TM 5-811-1 discuss exterior lighting for general security purposes.
The parking and roadway areas of the truck inspection station should have a minimum
illumination of 3 footcandle (30 lux). The areas where the actual inspections take place
should be illuminated to a minimum of 10 footcandle (100 lux).
It may also be necessary to provide additional task lighting in the ID and inspection
areas to support adequate identification of vehicle occupants and contents. Lighting
may also be mounted at or below pavement level to facilitate under vehicle inspection or
associated with under vehicle inspection systems (see paragraph 7-3).
AF
The Air Force requires 202 footcandle (200 lux) in inspection areas, and 30
footcandle (300 lux) is required at the point of contact using additional task lighting.

Perimeter Fence and Gate
Where the inspection facility is part of a Commercial/Large Vehicle ECF, each ECF
should have a gate enabling the ECF to be closed at the installation perimeter when not
in use. This gate should be reinforced with cables, as indicated in UFC 4-022-02, to
increase resistance to a moving vehicle threat. In addition the gate must have Type III
Barricade in accordance with MUTCD (3 per lane) secured to the gate horizontally.
This configuration enables a reduced potential penetration and maximizes standoff
when the ECF is not in use.
Secure a centralized truck inspection facility located off installation with a security fence
in accordance with service regulations, including a gate enabling the inspection facility
to be closed at the perimeter of the site when not in use.
