Up to six new streetlights could be installed and switched on to prevent road crashes and accidents in Coominya.
Following a community request for streetlights to be installed on Cloake St, Coominya, council officers inspected the level lighting in the surrounding area as a matter of safety.
It was revealed improved lighting would increase road safety and there were no existing lights on those streets.
Councillors unanimously agreed to the recommendation at Wednesday’s Somerset Regional Council meeting.
Councillor Sean Chat said it was a “good commonsense outcome”.
“That area at night is very dark, and because the way the road is, people seem to fly around it,” he said.
