Let there be light before there's an accident

For the last few months as I drive at night on Route 117, I've noticed no street lights by the exits and entrances onto Interstate 95 South and I-95 North and also on I-95. This is an accident waiting to happen, especially for wrong-way drivers. It's especially bad on rainy nights.

I've called the town and the state about it and still no results.

Is the town and state trying to save money or just negligent in checking lights?

Let's get the lights on. Think safety!
