You are joking surely?

Not really, it depends on how your define urban/built up area. If
buildings have less than 1/4 of a mile of clear open space between them
it's urban/built up to me. B-)

On motorways the average traffic levels appear to dictate if it's lit or
not. The M6 is lit all round Manchester and probably all the way down to
the M1 but going north the illumination stops after the M55 to Blackpool
(or maybe after Lancaster). It suddenly gets rather dark, they don't run
the illumination down in level it just stops.
