Rural roads and quite suburban neighborhoods do not. A porch light does not need to be on all night. So-called security lights should not shine all night. They should use motion sensor controls to turn on when needed. Parking lots and streets should use lighting levels appropriate for the task.
Today there are simply too many lights that are too bright.
Most of them are poorly designed, sending their light up into the sky or into a neighbor's backyard. All high-intensity outdoor lighting should use shielded fixtures that direct light down on the ground and not into the sky.
