LED street lights are best for highways for the following reasons:

Consuming less energy: At any time of the day, there can be cars running on the highways. So the lights need to keep lighting up for a long time. LED street lights save a lot of energy and are cheaper than solar street lights.
Easy to maintain: The voltage for LED street lights doesn’t need to be as high as that for HPS lights. So the LED street lights are less likely to break down. And their structure is very neat, making maintenance easy.
High CRI: The CRI of LED street lights can be up to 90, which is closer to natural light. The drivers can see the roads more clearly, and the white light also makes them less sleepy.
