# Known limitations

There are two known limitations for Street Light data:

* **Street Light Completeness:** Street Lights have been captured from aerial imagery and therefore there are some limitations to completeness. Where features are not visible from aerial imagery (for example, where they are obscured by tree cover or not visible due to urban shading), these will not be included.&#x20;
* **Overlighting and Underlighting:** Street Light coverage attribution on Road Links and Path Links is indicative only, and there may be some instances of overlighting and underlighting. An algorithm is used to give an indication of how well-lit a link is; this algorithm is based on an inferred light radius and does not account for information such as the height of a lamp post, the type of bulb, or the presence of any light-blocking obstructions or buildings.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.os.uk/osngd/using-os-ngd-data/os-ngd-transport/street-lights/known-limitations.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
