Default Why street lights on all night?

that's because it has nothing to do with it.

Oddly enough, headlighting doesn't seem to have been taken into account in
the lighting designs for most traffic streets and highways.

Then why are headlights required in every state even where there is
streetlighting? Should we turn off the headlights instead of the
streetlights and save energy that way?

TKM

Oh, headlights provide some extra illumination for the driver of the
car, but the primary purpose they serve in areas with streetlights, is
to make other cars able to see them, and realize they are moving.
