The Burger King at the corner of Shaw Road and Old Ox Road is a good example of the current trend in fast food resturants.  High intensity lights are tilted at about 45 - 60 degrees from horizontal to "flood" the area with light.  This certainly attracts attention (as it was designed to do)!  However, it is also extremely intrusive and even dangerous if the lights can be seen directly from the roadway.  This type of glare can be disabling and definatley contributes to the kind of visual clutter that is so distracting to safe driving.  This kind of lighting is a major source of glare, light trespass and light pollution.
