I think (or at least, I hope) this is only one out of many avenues explored in the attempt to save on costs. It does however, make for an interesting horror movie scenario. Good points, both of you.

Further, perhaps dim the lights as traffic drops off later in the evening, but install motion detectors at corners that will brighten the lights. If Audi can cheaply use LED technology for headlights (see Audi R8 V-10), a town could probably utilitize the same tech.
