The new law was approved by Councilman Anderson Sales and the objective is to replace all traffic lights in the city with those that use solar energy as a source of energy.
The City Council of Goiânia took a significant step towards urban sustainability, definitively approving the mandatory installation of solar-powered traffic lights throughout the capital.
