They will never turn off street or security lights. Regardless of any studies, the media would have a field day when a young lady gets raped in an area where lights had been turned off.

I remember when I was at UQ, the uni admin and security would walk around the campus at night to work out where extra lighting was needed to make everyone feel safe.

The new lights on the go-between bridge in Brisbane are prime examples of inefficient lighting - the light points up into a reflector angled at 45 degrees. They look artistic, but not very friendly for light pollution...
