That depends on the sunglasses. A good pair of polarized sunglasses greatly helps when navigating on the streets - they relieve eyestrain and help you maintain alertness for longer, and also they cut the glare off windscreens which allows you to see better, including seeing into cars so you can see what the driver is doing/looking at.
