Greenville Police and city leaders are looking to upgrade the street lights in the city by introducing LED lights.

The idea is to strategically determine locations where the bright lights will help to reduce crime and prevent pedestrian accidents, where vehicle drivers are unable to spot the pedestrians.

Over the last couple of years more than 200 street lights have been upgraded in areas of high crime and the result has been that in one area which experienced high levels of crime, the violent crimes decreased by 70%.

The program will continue to especially target all areas of the city where there have been pedestrian accidents, which are often fatal.

So far there are 858 requests from citizens for LED lights in their area and according to the police, they will begin on the west side of Greenville and aim to cover several city blocks.

Glove compartments are often used as handy places to store rubbish, old candy papers and receipts, however, it is worth using the glove box to store items which you might need in the event of an emergency.

As well as personal medical information and emergency numbers, along with a pen and paper, it is also worth having a flashlight, and cleaning items such as napkins, travel wipes and hand sanitizer. If you end up being hungry along the way, you will appreciate high energy snacks, especially if you get caught in a long hold up, or stranded in the snow.

A basic first aid kit can also be useful and make sure you follow the law by having proof of insurance there too. However the car registration should never be left in the glove box as that is exactly what car thieves would be hoping for.
