  1. Even though the current sets are not actually safe. Then they need to modify it, so that it complies. So if it sticks out like that, then they need to put it in front of their own stores or something. Or on the side. Most roads in all other countries have a clear numbering system, and a clear sign as well. Some are very small. So maybe small signs, which are ergonomic and then are cost effective, is the way to go ? This should be a booster to the commercial sector, get ALL shops or stores to be replaced, and one single company to do this from endto-end. How hard is this ? Not very hard. Japan has done their ages ago... and incorporated it into their own designs. Those signs might not be correct for an actual outdoor sign, but they could indeed be installed as an art installation, or for the inside of an actual mall or bar, or whatever. Like how Japan has done it. And make it low energy as well etc. Maybe "lower wattages" and make it energy efficient. How hard is it to convert them? Not that hard at all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vdb1CqZhFuY <---- See how Japan has adopted and preserved ALL their signs ? And added laterns as well.... and they increase their usages of LEDs too. Japan has ceiling to floor glasses... but would HK be confident to have this kind of stores ? Without breakages ? And vandalism ? Their indoor lights, shines onto the pavements... Whereas all stores in HK, has metal shutters, in case somebody steal something. If those "lamp posts" have actually a solar panel.. which absorbs during the day.... and then at night, it lights up. How much energy does the city conserve ? A lot. And doing this, then means that, more energy for the housing. Flats etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rY-FU6y3mIg
