Additional details

Places like harpurhey which have a lot of people going through it has had a lot of lights put in so when it comes to busier times , the traffic gets awful because the lights are to frequent causing backed up traffic. The light don't need to be so close together as well as there is a pair of lights within 70 meters of eachother which is ridiculous
