    Was travelling late last night on the Kilcock to Trim Rd. for the first time in a good while, the road was recently upgraded, resurfaced, straightened etc, a fine job. But I found with my high beams on, some of the road signage was incredibly bright and glareing, almost to the point of distraction. Is it me and my eyesight or has anyone else ecountered this? I also encountered the same on the Dunboyne to Summerhill Rd.

    No it's not just you. :) I've noticed this on a lot of roads in the Meath area. Coupled with overuse of such signage on the same stretch of road (especially temporary construction signs) and it becomes very distracting at night.

    There should definitely be a limit as to the amount of road signs that can be put up in say a 300m stretch.
