This is what I mean
Multiple examples stated below:
Street lights on one side of the street http://beforeafter.omslighting.com/img/02-bef.jpg

Street lights on both sides but each light is on every other side like this: http://www.streetlightsolar.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/1442459168.jpg

If possible in the center having 2 arms like this: https://www.capetowndailyphoto.com/uploaded_images/_MG_5125-750184.jpg

All sides of the road like this: https://www.designboom.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/tvilight-smart-streetlight-shah-designboom-02.jpg

This is based on you and what you like or prefer

BTW I got all these photos from google

I think I like the third choice. With MV fixtures.

Any style, as long as they're not LED.

Agreed, they're ghastly.

I'm very happy with the 4100k Philips Road Focus installs in my community.  they are much better than the cobrahead 150, 250, and 500 Watt HPS that they replaced.  Now, if they had replaced something like mercury vapor, I might be a bit more sad.. but even these Road Focus lights are starting to take on a slight green hue to them so I am grinning either way.  I like the HPS and MH parking lot lights in the area and at my church buildings that I help maintain, but several have been converted to insanely bright 4100k LEDs that I don't like.  Would have been better if they used the 3000k color.  But I had no say in the matter.

That's the problem, the people who have to live with and drive under these lights don't get any say

As you have probably guessed I'm no fan of LED street lights, but even if I did like the light they emit, the fact that no thought has been given to the aesthetic look of them is disgraceful,

But the vast majority who live and drive under them generally do not care.  They have far more important things on their mind.

Such as..?

People generally accept the status quo when they know they're not going to be listened to. Give them the opportunity to have their say and you might just find they think differently.

dinner, movies, tv, sports, working out, sex, fishing, shopping, eating, need I go on?

Possibly, but to do many of those things you need to go out under street lighting.

I've found that staggering the lights provides better illumination of the roadway and most lighting layouts seem to prefer it on streets and highways as well. The older freeway lighting here was staggered (aka light on the left, light on the right, light on the left, light on the right,...). On interstate 95 in the Providence area, the original 1957 davit poles remain, currently with 133w LED lights. Before that it was 250W HPS M-250R2s and before that assorted 400W MV lights (originally OV-25 flatbottoms).

Here's a link. There's two-headed poles on the Jersey barrier, which are spaced twice as far as normal, with single headed poles on the shoulders spaced evenly between the double headed poles. Problem is, you are now running three circuits the whole length of the freeway instead of one larger circuit. That's great for redundancy but it's a lot more conduit and cable no matter how you look at it. And some people think it looks "cluttered" with lights staggered down the road.
