Many roads in our cities and towns have damaged street lights and malfunctioning traffic signals. These facilities are installed to ensure public safety, regulate traffic, and prevent accidents, but in many areas they remain non-functional for weeks or even months. Street lights often fail due to poor maintenance, damaged wiring, power issues, or lack of timely repairs. As a result, roads become dark and unsafe, increasing the risk of accidents, theft, and harassment, especially for women, children, and elderly citizens.
Similarly, traffic lights that are broken, blinking incorrectly, or completely non-operational create confusion among drivers and pedestrians. This leads to traffic congestion, rule violations, and road accidents. Despite being essential parts of urban infrastructure, these systems are often ignored until a major incident occurs. Proper maintenance, regular inspections, and quick response to complaints are necessary to ensure that road safety systems function as intended and protect the public effectively.
