Safe and Secure Shopping Street Creation Business

When the shopping association conducts anti-crime program patrol activities, this system subsidizes a portion of the electricity and gas charges for street lights maintained and managed by the shopping association.
We will promote the development of shopping streets and contribute to road traffic safety, local anti-crime program measures and urban beautification.

By lit directly or indirectly, street lights, arcades, arches, etc., the safety of pedestrians and other traffic is ensured.
