Interesting point, and it reminded me of something I read decades ago -- reflective road signs in the US have a high amount of, well, reflectivity to compensate for the relatively low output of our (then) sealed-beam headlamps. Because Europeans were allowed much brighter headlamps, their road signs were not as reflective as ours.
Upon reflection (pun intended), I have noticed that running a good set of E-code lamps will result in too much glare back from many of our road signs, so there may be something to it.
