๐ The municipality of Villeneuve-lรจs-Bรฉziers is committed to switching off its public lighting. The aim is to reduce energy consumption and light pollution, in line with the town's strong environmental and ecological commitment.
ย
๐ Street lighting is also often seen as a key factor in safety. Many projects come up against resistance based on the fear of generating more insecurity or a feeling of downgrading that needs to be taken into account.
However, local authorities that have introduced this measure have not noticed any impact on the number of burglaries and acts of vandalism, most of which take place in broad daylight.
ย
๐ฆAs far as road safety is concerned, in an area with little or no lighting, motorists tend to decelerate or even brake in order to pay more attention to the state of the road and their trajectory.
ย
๐This experiment, which starts next week, is also part of the drive to control public spending by reducing energy consumption.
