Default Exterior step requirements
Are the requirements for exterior steps (min/max tread depth, min/max rise and runs) the same as for interior steps? Thanks.

(I am only inquiring about CODE for exterior. I know the code requirements for interior steps but am not sure if same applies to exterior steps. Thanks.)

Lighting might be different. I don't remember the NEC covering lighting of residential exterior stairs, but it does cover interior stairs.
