Do i select yes, because it, even if unintentionally, is lit or do i choose yes only when the bus stop has its own lights?
minus-squareDoudouOSM@en.osm.townlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·13 days ago@merde “Lit” is broad in OpenStreetMap. The Wiki is enlightening on this (pun intended): “Lights do not need to be purpose-built to lit this specific object”.

minus-squaremerde alors@sh.itjust.worksOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·13 days ago for example footway lit by a billboard or nearby motorway still can be lit=yes. then we can’t answer this question unless it’s night, when we can check for all possible light sources around the stop
