I think something important that should be considered if SCS decides to improve the UK in ETS2 is sign lights. This appears to be something fairly prominent on UK roads, and I feel it would be a cool little addition to ETS2. Mohegan13 wrote a good explanation here about the placement standards for sign lights.
Mohegan13 wrote: It depends on the type of road and the location of the sign in a lit area.

Regulatory signs other than those relating to stopping or parking and speed limits need to be directly lit if located in a system of street lighting and within 50 meters of a street lamp.

Terminal speed limit signs (a sign which marks the change in a speed limit) must be lit if located on a principal A road, located in a system of street lighting and within 50 meters of a street lamp.

Certain warning road signs require lighting in all circumstances whilst other warning signs must be lit unless located on a single carriageway, non principal or non trunk road with a speed limit of 30mph or less.

Zero-Emissions Vehicle Licence Plates
Starting in December 2020, vehicles that produce zero emissions can wear a licence plate with a green strip in the space where the EU strip was. It looks like this:

The strip can also feature the 'GB' country identifier; time will tell which look becomes more common.

When working on reworking the UK it would be a great pity to miss this part of the motorway near London, where the Qeen Elizabeth II Bridge is located, and next to this bridge is the Dartford Tunnel which goes under the River Thames when I drove my father on a truck to England before 12 years ago, we went through this bridge and tunnel, I remember it now, scs not to forget this tunnel and add a bridge when reworking the UK
