wait what your highways have lights? isn't the whole point of cars having headlights that you don't need lights on the roads aside from places like intersections?

Depends on the road, but yeah, some parts don't have lights. I guess you'd call it a freeway in most places where it does.

i mean here in sweden most parts of most roads don't have lights, only urban streets or intersections on roads have lights.

and to be clear by "road" i mean things with few junctions where the priority is speed, and "street" is where there's many junctions and the priority is access to stuff like housing/amenities.

Correct me if im wrong but I think most railways only have lights near the stations and crossings: https://maps.app.goo.gl/xZGgdEge4yrKkJMw7?g_st=ac
