Better infrastructure leads to more comfortable driving conditions.

Street light is one of the very important element of our society. There
are different attitudes and preference towards street lighting. There are many factors which are directly related to street light such as Road safety for adults & children apart from this security of property, personal safety deserve special mention. There was a strong feeling that the new lighting would reduce the possibility of accidents if the walking surface was poor; or if there were objects blocking the path they would be more visible. Another potential benefit was the possible reduction in the use of personal lighting. As well as the possible positive effects of street lighting, there were also negative effects noted. Light pollution was one such potential effect. Better street lighting would enhance drivers field of vision, and simultaneously it would improve road safety for cyclist, pedestrians & children and as a result less accidents.
