yes it could for sure . I've seen porch lights screw up an outdoor plants flowering schedule believe it or not. It does matter how far it is of course though..

well the light isnt directly on the plant. Its about 20 feet away or so, but it does shed light onto it. I was checking las night when it was dark out;

Fluck, guess i gotta mover to a dark corner every night.....

Most common street lights site anywhere from 15' - 25' depending on road classification, if your plant is 20 or so feet away that would make the streety lamp distance from your lady about 30' - 40', give or take depending on your plant size.

Institutions of Lighting Engineers said:
"The lamps used in streetlights vary in both size and consumption (typically between 35 and 250 Watts) depending upon whether they are lighting a residential area, main road or a town centre."
Doubling the max consumption gives us a 500W HID lamp, I doubt at 30' away your plant would be receiving enough lumens to stay in veg, maybe just a late bloomer.
