It's a real pain to drive at night because the road often is hardly visible, even with high beams on. That's why I thought that the road marks should be reflective, just like in this picture:
Kinda like the hover magic on the hover side mod http://www.beamng.com/resources/hoverside-hovercar.1178/ The bars are see in the dark, but they don't glow(as in emit light)
I dont think that its because roads are not reflective. Overall i feel that headlights are not strong enough in any car, and in real life, lights... Well, they light up everything around them, even if they weren't around the light zone itself, its not like at night its either ultra bright inside the beam's path, or batman-dark. Even then, i think that another issue is that the moon and stars provide no light at all.
Hmm it could be that the lights aren't strong enough. But actually they are doing a pretty good job at lighting up the trees. That's all I can think of when seeing the screenshot I've posted: The trees are reflecting the light while the road really isn't at all...
