Use this Luau script inside your own Roblox Studio place. Its source is included below.
What it does
Shared lamp switch
The first interaction switches on a PointLight. The prompt then reads “Turn off” so the next driver can reverse the change.
Light placement
Stand at the entrance to a bend and compare the road with the lamp on and off. Increase Range if the lamp lights the verge but the turn itself is still dark.
How to run it
Prepare the scene
Create an anchored Part beside the track in your Studio place.
Add the server Script
Insert a server Script under that Part. Expand View Luau source and paste the code into the Script.
Playtest the interaction
Press Play, approach the Part, and activate the prompt. The first interaction switches on a PointLight. The prompt then reads “Turn off” so the next driver can reverse the change.

Questions
Can another player see the change?
Yes. The Script changes an object in Workspace on the server, so the effect is shared.
How should I position the Part?
Stand at the entrance to a bend and compare the road with the lamp on and off. Increase Range if the lamp lights the verge but the turn itself is still dark.
