I haven't checked the road rules lately, but a truck stopped on any part of the road after dark used to be required to display parking and clearance lights.
If the councils and RTA had even the slightest consideration for light pollution they would be cheaper to run and make better use of the light.
Do four street lights really need to illuminate my back yard, after passing across neighbouring properties and through my boundary trees, from about 80 metres away?
