State Identifies Streetlights Targeted for Shutoff

Southern Hampton Beach and Seabrook will be hit hardest.

Using spreadsheets released today by the New Hampshire Department of Transportation, we've constructed the above interactive map to show you which streetlights in Hampton, North Hampton, Seabrook and Hampton Falls are being .

The red pins indicate a streetlight the state has identified for shutoff, while the green pins indicate a light that the state intends to keep.

The densest clusters of targeted streetlights are found along Ocean Boulevard on the southern tip of Hampton Beach and on Seabrook Beach. There are also inland streetlights targeted for decommission in all four of the aforementioned towns.

Hampton officials Monday night about the possibility of streetlights being turned off to save money. Many of the concerns related to Ocean Boulevard streetlights between A and N streets, although none of those streetlights were identified in the NHDOT's spreadsheets.

The spreadsheets, which also include every other municipality in the state, have been attached to this article as PDFs. The spreadsheets do identify streetlights that have been reassigned to the turnpike system — including a slew of lights along Exeter Road in Hampton and some in the other communities — although those lights aren't identified on the above map.
