You are supposed to display a house name or number though.
I wish more people took notice of that. This time of year especially
at around 5pm when I'm trying to find a house to do an estimate...

The local authority is responsible for enforcement. It's obviously a
concern for emergency vehicles trying to find somewhere.

Ambulance service seem to have it sussed. When a call comes onto the screen
in the ambulance the sat nav is automatically set. The controller can see
the ambulances sat nav on his screen. For Cat A calls the controller keeps
the caller online, so the crew can be updated on the situation (and the
caller can be told how far away the ambulance is).

When the ambulance is close the caller is told to go outside & wave like
mad. They also have side mounted floodlights on the newer trucks.

Maybe when you eventually find the house you could sell them a solar
powered illuminated house number sign.

Looking in to it already :-)
