Street Lighting And Its Importance

By Essie Osborn


Paths and roads are fitted lamps that are fixed on long posts which are meant to provide light to street users. The putting off and on these lamps is normally controlled from one central position. In recent development they have been improved in such a way that they can control themselves by sensing when its dark so that they can light up and switch off when its day time. Street lighting is important in that it save people from accidents and reduce wrongdoings.

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.

When these lamps are being put, there should be a consideration of the intensity of light they emit. The one that emit a lot of light are not encouraged for they make one not to see properly. This much light sends one tensing for u cannot see long distances. These road illumination should have minimal light which have the ability to eliminate shadow for one to see clearly.

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.

Other than cutting down the crime rate, these lights have been seen to make people work for long hours a day for there is no fear of returning to their homes and where they are working and this brings about development. It simply would turn a city into an all round the clock economy. Another consequence of this lighting is reducing of night times accidents which makes sure the people building the economy are secure.

Form the conducted research there has been proof that it aids in reducing the rate of accidents occurrences. This could be true considering that many of the injuries from accidents are normally during the night. It is known that at night the road rules may be bended since there are rarely police men on the roads and hence the drivers are at liberty to do whatever they want. However, though this may be done the essential of light remains important in helping cut down accident rate.

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.
