I find that's a modern problem. Tail-lights and traffic lights can be so bright as to be dazzling. You don't need to see these from 3 miles away! They should be capped in brightness to something that won't dazzle and is effective for the distances they need to be functional for. Of course, modern thinking is pile on more, make everything bigger and louder and brighter to overpower all the other noise. Zero coordination towards an efficient, effective society.
