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.
The provision of light is not only meant for night times but can be also be done when there is some weather which makes it appear dark. The bulbs are usually fitted on some poles that are meant specifically for them or may also be put on any utility pole
Recent information gotten from researchers who carried out their research on all road users says that the use of lights on the road sides has helped cut down the level of crime. It is said that when there is light many people can walk at night without much fear as compared to when it is dark and also much light keeps away criminals.
This though should be done with concern to which type of lights to put on the roads. Some lamps are so bright that instead of making one feel safe it makes one not to see properly. That excess glare would make one fear all the more. Road lamps should be of uniform light that is able to eliminate shadows that are dark and glare to make an individual feel secure.
The cost of fittings these lamps though is much adding onto it its maintenance. A much as one may argue that it is really not clear which type of crimes are cut down by illumination or even it is not possible to attach a figure of the importance of it, it still remains that these road light can never be a miss.
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.
In conclusion the fact is that enough illumination has the ability to keep the public safe, improve the economic status of a city and so it should be improved. Nevertheless, it has some environmental negative implications but they are less important to the main reason of lighting.
