"(7) The new or replacement outdoor lighting fixture is to be installed and operated on roadways and supporting interchanges that are classified by the Department of Transportation’s Functional Classification Maps as Interstate or Other Freeway/Expressways within the urbanized boundaries and Other Principal Arterials that are designed to Interstate or freeway/expressway standards in non-urbanized areas; or

(8) As to maintenance of existing lighting systems, the change to a cutoff luminaire would require the redesign and reconstruction of the system to compensate for the different lighting characteristics of these fixtures."
