1. Street Lighting Fault Report

A QR sticker on a lamp post links to the local authority's fault reporting form, pre-filled with the lamp post reference number. Fast reports mean faster repair and safer streets.

2. Safe Route Guide

A QR at a transport hub links to the late-night safe route guide: well-lit routes to the nearest residential area, taxi rank, or transport hub. Updated as street lighting changes.

3. Emergency Contact Links

A QR on public safety signage links to the non-emergency police number, street marshal contact, and the 999 emergency services quick-dial option.

4. Anti-Harassment Reporting

A QR on public toilet signage and bus stop shelters links to the mechanism for reporting harassment witnessed or experienced on that street. Quiet, discreet reporting increases reports.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a QR help councils identify which streets have the most lighting faults?

Yes. Each lamp post QR is unique; aggregate scan/report data shows which areas have the highest fault rates.

Should nighttime safety QR pages work offline?

Emergency contacts and safe route maps should be cached locally. A person in danger cannot rely on a slow data connection to load a page.
