In the dark, a man steps off the curb and is struck down
by a passing car. The driver failed to see him. Subsequent
investigation revealed a broken street light at the scene of
the accident.
Remember, street lights are placed there for everyone’s
convenience and protection. Motorists have less chance to
see pedestrians in a dim light; people on foot are more
likely to stumble and fall.
Replacing broken street lights costs thousands of dollars
Bach year. This money comes out of your pocket in the
long run because you are a part owner in your Hydro.
