I’ve never understood the need for overhead lamps on city streets and intown highways/interstates.

Of course I grew up in the country, but cars have headlights that work perfectly fine for lighting one’s path.

Much of such lighting is to deter crime against persons and property in both residential and business areas.

The Brits are nuts to even buy in to the hoax regarding carbon emissions and global warming.

Yes, I get that. But I thinkthe lights over the interstate system and major roads isn't needed. Quite an expense otherwise to deter thieves. Cheaper to just buy lead I think.
