Street Lights

Poor visibility is a major cause of accidents at night. Street light lights assist drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists find their way in the dark by illuminating areas adjoining the roadway to alert drivers of possible hazards from the sides and illuminating walkways for pedestrians.

Although street lights do provide some amount of security in residential areas, this is not their primary purpose and they are not installed for security reasons alone.

Public Works: The Public Works Department is responsible for the maintenance of over 22,000 street lights on Arlington's roadways. This includes the street lights on IH-20, IH-30, SH 180, SH 360, and US 287.

Asset Management: The Asset Management Department is responsible for lights located within the City's Park and Ride facilities.

Parks and Recreation: The Parks and Recreation Department is responsible for lights located on the South Center and Mesquite Street bridges, as well as all lights located within city recreation centers, parks, and their parking lots.
