ahh yes busy traffic - two sheep and a possum......(oh dear now i am in for it)

Lighting codes for public roads in australia are set in the dark ages with the lighting code adopted from the US and modified to become a standard lighting code for Australia and NZ. I personally would love it not to exist. As for the NZ folk - good on them and i hope it does bring some change. our Council spends over 4 million dollars a year on public lighting - if this was drastically reduced it would be good but the cost of the infrastructure change is prohibitive unless the public fork out a grant or programme to adopt new technology all over - small pockets like this test they did will do nothing long term unless they take it across all of the local government area.
