Yes, there are a bunch. It is a section of road recently rebuilt. The lights are
high (or low) pressure sodium. However, these lights are pretty much
mono-chromatic and I just haven't been able to get the right look in a render.
I used mercury vapor in the image. They render better - and I like the name.
This section of road is incredibly bright. Imagine the brightest service area
you stopped at on a dark night and then add some more light....

Thanks. I agree.
