You'll notice the difference when I take over. The lampposts will start disappearing after a few weeks or months. The lit road signs will go on the first day, of course.
The lampposts will survive for a while, although not lit, as they will provide a more ecologically sound method of removing pointlessly obstructive people than the brick wall + Browning arrangement.

I noticed last night , when the few cars were overtaking, that they lit up the road ahead much better than my lights do. I was actually quite relieved when they did speed past as I could see where I was going better in the fog for a while.
So suppose depends on what sort of car and headlights you have for night vision. Those with the bigger , higher up cars with the super duper lighting (and blinding me when oncoming) probably aren't so bothered about having street lighting.
Just so pleased I forked out a fortune for the best night vision /anti dazzle varifocals I could get recently though. Makes a hell of a difference !

Funnily enough I've just got back from a weekend in Newbury and one pub we went in had a really low bar which was about normal height for one of my mates.If I ruled the world I'd make all the ticket barrier machines positioned 'reachable' , from the car window ,to short @rses like me. Not in the middle of wide concrete islands , so that no matter how close I get to the Kerb I still can't bloody reach!
Son , in hysterics at my attempts to reach, had to jump out and press for the ticket when we entered the airport carpark the other night. Coming back out on my own , couldn't reach on first attempt. Daren't get out to put ticket in the machine to raise the barriers, incase I couldn't jump back in quick enough and get through before they came back crashing down again locking me in.
2nd run up , tyres scraping the kerb this time , take my seatbelt off and hang half out of the window to just about reach.( Rather scary with no-one else in sight at 1.45am . )
Got to grow longer arms for the pick up run later tonight.
We were getting on so well with the landlady that she asked if our vertically challenged friend could reach the urinals ok. I said he usually carried a little step to help him so he'd be fine

In the village where I used to live, the lights in the centre where the pubs were went out 10 mins after closing time. As you walked away from the pubs the lights went off in 100 yard blocks moving out of the centre, rough in the time it took you to stagger the distance, so as you walked the lights went out behind you.

Enjoying a drop of red.
I've found driving round on main beam the whole time eliminates the problem of driving on unlit roads and motorways. I do it all the time.After them reaching the carpark just as I arrived , son was able to run across and do the ticket machine for me when he saw me hanging out the window and still not managing to reach
Another thing I'd do if I ruled the world....... put lights all along the motorway. Even if it was the red bat friendly lights that they have down the road by me , it would be better than going suddenly from the odd lit up parts to total blackness for miles. (Even the lorries were going slower in the pitch black parts ,made worse with fog tonight. )
