Despite the huge amount of road taxes, toll gate taxes etc, our national highways in India have almost zero street lights. The lack of proper lighting gets even more compounded by the fact that often long stretches of the roads are  damaged or under repair or have obstructions /barriers/barricades or diversions that aren't very visible at night in the dark. This results in frequent accidents in the night time. Added to this is the anxiety and stress generated.

The taxes collected should ensure that the authorities put up lights along the highways. This should be a basic right and a minimum standard that all highways must have proper lighting and would go a long way to prevent accidents and make roads safer. 

This is an appeal to have street lights along all highways
