So, I did the experiment this evening. Here's the sign opposite Russell Place, with lights mounted low and pointed at a non-blinding angle pointed in its direction. The sign is dark. So the good children don't get admonished redundantly.
Here's the sign illuminated by a 2W LED lamp beamed directly off the handlebars, parallel to the ground; the basic blinding bad behavior on the trail. The sign is considerably more legible, but would be more so if mounted a foot or so lower; currently, the top of the sign is at the 7' level.
Still have no idea who put these things up. As Douglas Adams said of planet Earth, mostly harmless.
