@ajsadauskas Here's a nerdy little sidenote some of you folks might find interesting.
Notice how the light pole in the photo is also being used to carry a Parramatta city council banner (in this case, celebrating Easter)?
Notice as well various censors and pieces of comms equipment are attached to the pole? And also, near the bottom, a flower bed?
If you'll look closely, you'll notice there's a groove down the side of the pole. And the various things on it are attached with standard mountings? (So the light at the top, for example, isn't welded in place. It's attached with a mounting.)
What you're looking at is a Standards Australia SA TS 5386:2024 multifunction pole. ( https://www.standards.org.au/standards-catalogue/standard-details?designation=sa-ts-5386-2024 )
This design is less prevalent in other states, but they're everywhere in New South Wales.
Some background from the design studio that created this design:
"The award winning HUB Multi-Function Pole System combines multiple street pole functions onto one beautifully designed structural urban element.
"Invented by 4design, The HUB MFP System is a fully modular system that can be adapted to the needs of any modern city through a variety of size of pole and associated fixtures.
"The patented system combines a simple elegant pole with a universal mounting system that allows the device to expand to accommodate Traffic Lights, Signage, communications systems etc. Developed in Australia, the HUB Pole is now a globally respected Multi Function Pole System."

Some more background info from the NSW State Government Movement & Place website:
"Adopt a multi-function pole system in urban areas, where many single-use poles and structures for signs, traffic control signals, CCTV, flags and lighting can be rationalised to a single, modular system pole reducing clutter and enabling other streetscape improvements.
"Benefits
* Reduces clutter by combining several posts, poles and structural supports into a single element
* Is a modular system, allowing a single product range to be used as a unifying element in an urban area
*Allows additional items, upgraded technology or functions to be installed on the pole over time, reducing the need to dig up paving or planting beds
"Considerations
* Will normally not be maintained by the electricity authority and be treated as a private pole
* Structural footings, installation requirements and connections to power, telecommunications etc may be complex
* Not all proprietary systems are frangible and suitable for higher-speed environments"

Los Angeles Wave: Mayor plans to install 60,000 solar-powered street lights. “Mayor Karen Bass signed a new executive order March 25 codifying a partnership between the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and the Bureau of Street Lighting to install 60,000 solar-powered street lights over the next two years.”

#LightPollution from #StreetLamps linked to #InsectLoss
"There are practical solutions that don't compromise public safety, they say, including dimming streetlights in the early hours, fitting motion sensors or using colour filters to cut out the most harmful wavelengths."25 August 2021
By Helen Briggs"Scientists say light pollution may be contributing to 'worrying' declines in insects seen in recent decades.
"In a UK study, artificial street lights were found to disrupt the behaviour of nocturnal #moths, reducing #caterpillars numbers by half.
"Modern #LED #streetlights appeared to have the biggest impact.
"There is growing evidence that #insect populations are shrinking due to the likes of climate change, habitat loss and pesticides.
"Factors are complex and varied, including the steady loss of #forests, #heathlands, #meadows and #marshes, overuse of #pesticides, #ClimateChange and #pollution of rivers and lakes.
"The use of artificial lights at night-time has been proposed as another driver of insect decline, although the scale remains unclear.
"The researchers say their study, published in Science Advances, is the strongest evidence yet that light pollution can have detrimental impacts on local insect populations, with consequences for the birds and other wildlife that rely on caterpillars for food.
"'In a local setting we can now be quite confident that light pollution is important, but what's less clear is if we're looking at a whole landscape,' said lead researcher Douglas Boyes of the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology.
"'If insects are in trouble - as we believe they are, and have evidence to support that - perhaps we should be doing all we can to reduce these negative influences.'"
