I don't have streetlights where I live. Once the sun goes down it's just dark... I like it. And despite being a townie, I've managed not to wander into, or fall over anything. The best thing about having no street lights is that I get an amazing view of the stars.

I'm pretty sure ours stay on all night but then I live on a main road so it's not surprising I guess.

I have never noticed. I will have a look it tonight.

I found we did not have lamp posts in my street (mews).

I have not got a chance to go out late at night yet (I recently moved in to this area.) so I can't be sure, but I saw lights from my upstairs bedroom, between trees - far away - like motorway cats eyes.

It means I think main streets' lights are still on after midnight.

What the hell?!?

They better not do this near me. I don't think there's enough street lights as there is and I don't sometimes get in till 4/5 AM on a night. (I don't like the dark. )
Plus what about poor girls doing the walk-of-shame?!?
