Why in the world would anyone put three coach lights on the same wall on three different switches?

This house's switching setup does have me a little perturbed. i just drew a simple sketch of what's actually there.

The two end lights are outside exterior doors and the one in the center is a security flood.

With all that jazz going on I'd probably drill and pull smurf tube with conductors, and parallel color travelers thru for the switching.

Whatever happened to the good old days, when people got off their lazy ass and walked over to the fan and used the pull string?

In most of my territory I would be doing this in conduit and using stranded wire, so the only question would be...how many wires am I pulling in this conduit?

Default Knowing codes better
I need help know codes better some are hard to follow in the code book. I need it to be more blunt of what you can and can't do residential. And what most inspectors like?
