There are, indeed, multiple definitions of the difference between a town

A useful indicator is the street lighting.
Generally a town has continuous evenly spaced street lamps along all or
most roads within its boundary.
Villages often have no street lighting, or only a few strategic lamps
scattered about.
That is really not true at all. It may be true for very small rural
villages, but not for the vast majority of them. If it were true, then
almost every village would need 30mph repeater signs throughout, as they
wouldn't have enough lighting to count as a built up area. In practice,
though, they don't.
Here's a couple of locations near me. One is in a village, the other is
in a town. Can you tell, just by looking at them, which is which?
