Most def. To me anything North of 90/Rt 9 on 495 is very dark.

we need to turn off/down/shield nighttime lighting. In the context of high beams, it's like stationary high beams that will never turn off.

Broken record time: excessive nighttime lighting has done serious damage to core wildlife i.e Nocturnal animals and insects. There are also some strong indicators that excessive nighttime lighting affects human health and mental well-being.

It's not hard to control. Ideally, people would use Using dark-sky friendly lighting fixtures and motion-activated lighting. But quite frankly, it as simple as pointing light fixtures down and using lower-wattage, lower-color temperature bulbs.
