Turn signal lights seem quite high?

When I turn on my turn signals it highlights the street sign on top of the signal post! why is the light from the signal going so ridiculously high?

Doesn’t bother me. Are we really talking about signal lights now?

The light emitting diodes have a plethora of lumens per mm².

To signal your intentions to low-flying planes?

I noticed this the first couple of nights after I got my car. Reflective street signs on top of signal light trees and freeway overcrossings quite easily show the blinking yellow lights.

They're not aimed high, they're just flooding everywhere. So that no matter where someone is, they can see it. Even if they *are* a low flying plane

It’s not high. Others cars I have do the same thing. They light up street signs.
