Item today in a Dutch newspaper about sttempts to reduce the blind angle
that trucks have - even with additional mirrors on the truck- by placing a
mirror on the traffic light post.
At this point (some years into the trial) no clear results yet.
I will add some translation later but the images should work without that
for the time being.

At first I thought it was a great idea. But as soon as the driver
starts to move beyond the mirror it is useless. Definitely worth
trying eg in London where left turning vehicles are a major cause of
death.

The image of the truck in the first article has something called a 'front
view mirror' which I assume covers that angle. But you can have all the
mirrors possible and still not look in them! Or fail to actually notice
what you're seeing.
