lol funny Ian..ive only been here a Few times...it was fun to pass all the Way through shreveport on I-20 at night..it seemed almost endless...about a 20 mile stretch of lights.
These light poles seem pretty tall! About 45 feet tall. For lighting California is the opposite, only the exits and merges are lit for the most part, even in San Francisco and Los Angeles.
i dunno how tall they are for sure...but your estimate seems about right...and Yeah..along the interstates here for the most part when you enter a city you have Rows and Rows of lighting...but the Exits,Merges,and Rest stops along the interstate outside of the city are lit too..
Ontario used to use 40-50ft tall poles with truss arms for lighting highways in the cities but now they switched to highmast poles for the cities. For rural areas only the ramps and rest stops have lighting.
sounds Similar to Interstate Lighting Throughout Texas,and Louisiana in Cities its Continuious but in the Rural Areas the Exits and Rest Areas are Lit......in Alabama and Missisippi the Interstate Lighting was Way diffrent...rather than Cobraheads on Long,Extended Arms they Had Floodlights,Shoeboxes,and Even Holophane Mongooses.
i Saw one that had a Broken Truss Arm...like the Lower Truss was Snapped off on the End....shreveport has some Intresting lighting...especially near the Air Port where the Cobrahead lighting becomes wallpack like fixtures on Very Short poles....they also had some of those M400A1 FCO's
Here main areas are continous also, and rural areas, the exits and rest stops are lit. In Southeastern Massachusetts, there are no interstate lights at all.

And yeah.that is LOTS of lights. I bet they don't maintain enough of them.
I saw one with a refractor door hanging down. I believe it was an M-400r3 or a 125.
I don't get it.
