Who protects our Traffic Lights?

They are a source of regulation, aiding the delicate relationship between humans and machines, in this case vehicles. When traffic lights fail to work, mayhem is caused; vehicles knock down people, cars crash into each other and often there is a gridlock because unyielding drivers won’t allow common sense to work.
On the Lapaz highway, opposite the Las Palmas restaurant, in what could be described as one of the dangerous intersections in the capital lies traffic lights which even on a good day pose trouble for pedestrians and so one can wonder the terror this road unleashes on daily commuters who have to use this section of the road when the traffic lights are off.
For some days now, the overhead lights have been off; it takes policemen some effort to control the traffic when they eventually arrive. Just nearby is one traffic light which has been knocked off its feet, but has been unattended to for days. Am informed, drivers who damage traffic lights are surcharged but what happens when the culprit is unknown; say the incident happened at dawn?
There are few security cameras at certain intersections but how useful are they in tracking down road offenders? The call is for the Roads and Highways folks and state engineers to devise defence railings for the lights as they are easily hit and damaged.
Whoever has the power to breathe life into the dead lights at the Las Palmas section of the road should urgently do so to save valuable lives.
