Post subject: | Overdose - too many columns? |
Hello again, I've been meaning to post this for a while! Not enough streetlights is bad, but too much is even worse. I've seen several cases of councils installing too many lanterns in the same area. I assume you have too! Here's one for starters: CLICKETH There may not be much on first sight, but when you pan the veiw 360*, you can see the following: Trafficvision MRL6 MI26 Beta 2 SGS203 Z9533 Assorted globes All I can say is "It must be a little hard to sleep there". |

Brilliant! Now I've got somewhere I can post this: There's a bit of overkill here in terms of lighting! There's two zebra crossings, one lit with Sapphires, the other Arcs and there's a double-bracket installation with two MK II Alpha 8s, which looks rather redundant now among all the zebra crossing lanterns! I believe, however, the Alpha 8s may soon be removed, if they haven't already, as the high street has had its installations replaced with Furyos. On the A2 near Gravesend in Kent, there are these three double-bracket Trafficvision installations spaced extremely closely together. There is also a bit of overdose on the right - just look at all those Iridiums! Finally, the lighting at the M11/M25 junction in Essex is rather excessive too! Double Iridiums and single Iridiums on the M11 mainline and columns on both sides of the M25 on-slip. The M25 mainline and slip roads are pretty overkill too, with a mix of Sapphires and Iridiums. |

I have always thought this roundabout in scarborough was overdone http://goo.gl/maps/DTT11 |

I think it's only that Streetfighter in the middle that's a bit excessive - the other columns are fine! |

Nice topic. At Northway Roundabout in the last 5 years they've added 2 lanterns. This now looks overlit to me, just this section, not the whole roundabout. http://goo.gl/maps/sw7yr |

Here's a little bit of an overdose in Maidstone in Kent. Looking at the length of the bracket I think the Iridiums' columns were the original ones but the road got realigned at some point and so the MA50 and Alpha 4's column were installed at a later stage when the realignment was complete. Big overdose here in Portsmouth. Just look at all those different types of ZX3s! |

Certainly a fair collection of columns there - is it because we are supposed to be a nation of dog lovers? Anyway, if you swing the camera around, you'll see what appears to be some form of derelict industrial land. Checking GSV today indicates the land has been redeveloped for housing. Question is... did the four Alpha 3s survive?
