A looong time ago there was a mod that added a retroreflective effect to the road signs, this only worked for the vanilla signs however. Now Promods has glorious new signage, will we be seeing this effect added to the road signs? Currently, driving at night is immersion breaking, when you can't read any of the unlit road signs. Countless many times have I missed speed limits and such because you can't read the sign until you are less than 100m away. :P

I'm not sure about other countries, but in the U.K the vast majority (maybe even all) of road signs are retroreflective. At least the reflector post are reflecting light though! :)

Cheers.

You'd think that be in the base game, right? Great idea, but not sure whether this is something ProMods would do (it's probably not a map related thing, more like a script edit).

I think they have added some lighted signs in Poland that might be something to work into other countries for nighttime driving. Mostly the arrow direction pointers, though its at least something to be able to make out a dangerous curve in your way. These ideas might be more work than the devs want to put into signage though.

If I remember correctly, the original mod author said that he had to use Blender to add a certain .mat to the signs. So it is likely that doing all of the signs is just a matter of how complex of a process it is to do it and how much time it takes to do all the relevant signs.
