Sources of light in in the roads or highway are fixed in poles that are tall enough to make sure the light spreads. The street lighting have a given schedule on when they are put on and when they are to put off at night time. A recent improvement that is more economical and efficient are lamps that have sensitive photocells which have the ability to keep the lights on a dark times and switch it off early in the morning.
These lights are not only meant to light up at night, but can also automatically turn on when there is dark weather. These bulbs are normally placed on some tall poles alongside the roads though some may also be fitted on utility poles.
Information from research carried out by people from drivers, pedestrians and bikers has it that when there is enough light in the street crime reduces in a great way. It is based on the fact that when the roads are clear for one to see it reduces fear for crime doers are afraid of being seen in much light.
The intensity of the much light the bulbs put on the roads though emit though should be controlled. Lamps that produce extremely high amount of light and makes one not to see properly are not to be used. The inability to see well will make many people tense. The preferred light is one which can eliminate the presence of shadows for this makes one feel much safe.
The cost incurred in the buying, fixing and making sure they are always maintained in the right condition is big. This may bring out argument that the crimes being eliminated by light cannot be noted and that there is no a specific cost that can be attached to that, the fact remains that we will always need the services of these lights.
Not only does light reduce bad actions at night but it has an economic importance of making the public to work long hours at night or even overnight which in return improves the development of a region. For an economy to be a 24 hour economy the core thing is always light. Another added advantage of proper illumination on highways and roads is that many accidents are prevented and hence the drivers, bikers and pedestrians are safe.
From the research, it has also been learnt that cities with enough lights at night has helped reduce it by sixty percent. The information is applicable since in most cases the accidents we experience normally occur during the night. This is because in many cities at night there are no traffic police men and so the drivers take advantage to be irresponsible. As much as they may do some warned against behaviors when driving the presence of light still helps a great deal injuries from accidents.
The whole summary of these leads us to concluding presence of light is at the favor of the public and if anything it should be improved in all areas. However, there are some environmental related reasons why organizations would like light reduced but the security reason outweighs them all.
