Light up every junction on a main N - Road

junction where 'r' Road comes out onto an 'N' Road. - if finances/technicalities permit , on bends as well on the N - Roads

it would / is but not as safe apparently - I was reading some article (and typically cannot find it now) that said lit roads were safer statistically

indeed, of course - it all helps and goes hand in hand

i should imagine if you are going to have a crash at a junction or on a bend - it would soften the blow maybe and more convenient if the road your in has some streetlighting on it rather that not and you are in the pitch black?

yes, easier after the accident to see what you are doing and for other traffic to see that you have crashed , or if you need help better to do it with road lit up than not

i'm surprised that when in UK nearly all the road signs are lit up …. not talking on the motorways , I would expect that , but no on the main A-Roads as well … and in Towns and cities the one way street signs and no entry signs are lit up with overheard lights (used to be fluorescent tubs, more than likely LED now) and the square plastic bollard things where there is an island in the road , and mph speed signs and roundabout signs …. all lit up .
Not over here in Ireland as far as I know.

signs light up for people on foot who dont have car headlights fitted so they can still see where they are driving walking to 😁

….. yeah well the French are funny aint they - most probably think its saving money switching the lights off, until someone trips up in the dark and sues the council (or whatever the equivalent of councils is in France)

joking aside though I am trying to think why they have all the destination signs lit up in UK even along with the streetlights and I am wondering if its for all the cars that have a headlight out … or have just forgot to turn them on!
