Texas Department of Transportation enhances safety with new LED lighting project

The Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) is taking significant steps to enhance road safety along a stretch of North Mesa. They are installing additional LED light poles as part of a safety lighting project.

Specifically, they are replacing 130 30-foot light poles and 37 40-foot light poles from the area spanning N. Mesa and Doniphan to N. Mesa and Glory Road1. This initiative aims to benefit both drivers and pedestrians.

Local residents have expressed their anticipation for the improved lighting on El Paso’s main roads. George Reed emphasized that the lights would help people see each other better, especially in areas where some drivers tend to speed. Sylvia Pitcher highlighted the importance of visibility for both drivers and pedestrians, emphasizing safety for everyone2.

These efforts by TXDOT are commendable, as well-lit roads contribute significantly to safer travel experiences for all.
