Increasingly local authorities are now using full cut-off lighting as

Trunk roads have been improving for quite a few years - the
responsibility of central government. The point of giving authority
for minor roads (and many other matters) to local government is that
local government is more responsive to local need. At least that's
what I read on the back of a pig just before it took off.
