    Has anyone else noticed that on some routes (I think with JT routes this is an issue with principally), the "flare" from the light of signals facing the other direction can be quite distracting?

    A number of times I see red light emanating from a signal in the distance, and it's only as I approach that I see it's actually red light from a signal facing the other direction.

    It does appear a lot on JTs Colour Lights - not sure if an occlusion should be used as DTG signals don't do it as much
    For that reason I run with the F3 Hud on to show where the next signal is but you still get caught out at times

    Yes, I tend to too, on an unfamiliar route, but there's the occasional signal missed as you say.
