Yes Street Lights should be Turned Off from 1AM

A lot of streetlights are being replaced with LED ones that only shine light downward, rather than up, my street already has them, they're white too, not orange, also as a plus, they use less energy.

Here's an example

Maybe in very remote areas, but in town centers, you have drunkards on their way home who could easily walk out into the road and be hit by a car who didnt see them due to it being so dark

Also this

"The lights will automatically adjust brightness levels according to the time of day and also the number of vehicles on the route at different times of night."

A drunkard isnt going to remember a LED torch, it'll be interesting to see what the country will look like when the LED streetlights are installed nationwide...at the very least, we'll be more white than orange :joker:
