The unsurveyed values won't have a "lit" value.  Eventually almost all of the roads will be lit=no, and I'd say that's OK, because it helps to say that "those roads have already been surveyed as lit=no".

A bit of extra info:

no all roads are eligible for this quest[1], so just mapping with StreetComplete
would not result in a full coverage.

This is done in part to avoid asking pointless questions and in part to avoid 
adding lit=no that add absolutely nothing useful.

Though mapping with other editors or modified StreetComplete is possible
to achieve such full coverage.
