The tremendous increase in inter-city passenger and truck automobile travel has brought better business to small cities situated in the line of travel. It has at the same time brought these small cities face to face with a condition of traffic and crime hazard which was not even thought of when street lighting plans were being formulated a few years ago. There is not only a general increase in local traffic over the whole city, but also a cumulative concentration of traffic on main thoroughfares resulting from inter-city traffic. Some of these highways now carry much more traffic than important streets in large cities. Unfortunately, also, with this traffic there has come the entry of reckless criminal elements from nearby large cities. Thus the small lamps and wide spacings of street lighting systems which were once considered sufficient for towns and smaller cities are now totally inadequate; in fact, the street lighting requirements on the principal thoroughfares in these towns are practically as exacting as those of the big cities.
