Streetlights are proven to help prevent both crime and traffic crashes. In April 2021, Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms announced the “One Atlanta—Light Up the Night” initiative to increase the City’s streetlight footprint by 10,000 lights—with focus on areas with high rates of traffic crashes and crime.

Any disturbance to the public right-of-way requires a permit issued by the Department of Transportation. Right-of-Way Permits are required for lane and road closures as well as other activities in the public right of way. Applicants may be referred for this type of permit through the Department of Transportation.

The Department of Transportation issues various permits for working in or blocking the public right-of-way. Examples of such work may include installing or making repairs to a driveway apron or sidewalk; building a structure that requires a driveway apron; or tapping into an existing sewer/sanitation line.
