A lot of accidents and even crimes can be preventing just by having a properly lit street. Roadway lighting solutions get a lot of thought and planning. Our government spends a considerable amount of its yearly budget on lights for our nation and state highways and the thousands of roads that connects are villages, towns and cities. But places like parks, streets in our localities or even alleys do not get that much thought.
These are the places which have the most chances of being prone to robberies, or vehicular accidents. Local housing committees or the local government needs to put extra thought into lighting for these areas.
