I would suggest that if you are driving in open countryside on a 60pmh
road, and jam on the brakes when you get to a 400yds lit section where a
side-road joins, that you'd be anything but "safe".

ITYF that those street lights carry NSL reminders.

They don't have to unless the lit length exceeds certain distances.

There were at least three such stretches on the A10 between Royston and
Cambridge when I last looked (about 2 years ago).
