Anti glare screen system to hide traffic beams from the other side of the road
Oh, that's the purpose? I don't think I'd ever guessed. Thank you.
Wish we had that in Germany. As great as the autobahn is, when it rains it reflects so much that you don't see the Markings anymore without highbeams.
But maybe that's a northern thing.
But looking at the picture there is no road behind them, only the path going up the mountain?
There's two opposing lanes of traffic on the other side if the barrier, I assure you. Cyprus drives on the left side of the road.
Looks like road going up the hill to the right.
Taxpayer money spent because assholes like to drive lifted trucks with their high beams on at all times.
Somehow I don't think lifted trucks are a huge issue on Cyprus.
Except that's not how it works know it all, when you lift a truck the lights are re-aimed, so low or high beams, they're where they always would have been. If that's skipped, you literally can light the road you're on.
assuming it was done by a professional
Doesn't take a pro to do that, just a screwdriver, 25 or so feet of flat ground, and some common sense.
It's the common sense that seems to be missing most of the time.
