A non-emergency street light issue includes any problems that do not pose an immediate threat to safety. This means situations like lights that are out, flickering, or covered by debris, as long as they are not part of a deeper risk or dysfunction.
To clarify, here's a simple breakdown of what constitutes street lighting emergencies versus non-emergency issues:
| Emergency Issues | Non-Emergency Issues |
|---|---|
| Missing panels or doors, exposed wiring, burning or smoking lights | Flickering lights |
| Lamp posts damaged by traffic accidents | Lights that are out |
| More than five consecutive lights out in one area (considered a priority) | Lights covered by debris or obstructions |
