    Hadn't really been bothered by them, until last night .

    Coming back northward from Clevedon, just after the turn off from Twilight Rd, before the 90 degree left hander toward Whitford.

    Gentle bend , no need for any sign , and ALL I can see is this vast yellow blaze ahead.

    Tried main beam , dip beam (YES! HEADLIGHTS! I have FINALLY got the blurdy charging system on the Titan sorted. Blurdy unverdammit AC phasing ! I now have the glorious total of one whole amp of charge with the lights on. I can't really complain though, cos that is due to swapping the 25/30W original headlamp bulb for a 60/65W ).

    Still just a yellow blaze of light, couldn't see anything of the road. Looking away, left right, nothing worked, finally just went round by memory.

    I'm all for a campaign to get rid of them, preferably with axes and matches.

    Just another case of "cant please everyone".

    If you took the signs down, someone would complain.
    If you put them back up, someone would complain.
    If you made them brighter, someone would complain.
    If you made them less reflective, someone would complain.

    Oh, and its pretty rich Transit blaming their contractors and consultants, because Transit specify the exact grade of reflectiveness for their signs - the decision is not made by their contractors or consultants.

    I feel like complaining.
