Solar Power to run Traffic Signals in Noida

Traffic police in Noida (UP, India) is finally taking some initiative. After being piled with reports of dysfunctional traffic lights, the state's police department has decided to use Solar energy to power traffic lights. Under this scheme, 79 traffic lights will be overhauled, so as to run on Solar Power.
Since Noida is an upcoming city, power cuts and outages are common. Thanks to that, the traffic lights stop working and the commuters have to face the chaos on the roads. If this scheme is implemented properly, it will ensure that all the traffic signals are functioning during the day, and provide a smooth flow of traffic. At night, when the sun is not around, well, who cares about traffic signals anyway!
