Street lighting is the system of lights along public roads and pathways that municipalities install and maintain for public safety, traffic visibility, and crime prevention. Street light networks represent significant infrastructure requiring ongoing electrical costs, maintenance, and periodic replacement. Many municipalities are converting to LED technology, reducing energy consumption significantly while improving light quality. Street light standards specify illumination levels, spacing, and fixture types for different road classifications. Residents request street lighting for safety, though some oppose additional lights due to light pollution concerns. Municipal utilities or electrical utilities may operate street lighting systems depending on local arrangements. Street light outages are common service requests to municipalities.
