In my experience (northeast USA) most HIGH PRESSURE SODIUM street lights are 150 watt or 250 watt For example in NYC 250 watts is used at intersections and 150 watt everywhere else

What is one way in which you can identify the elements that are used in various street lights?
By the colour of the light that they emit. Sodium vapour lamps produce yellow/orange light while Mercury vapour lamps produce white light.
What are the applications of sodium vapour lamp?
Low-pressure sodium lamps : outdoor lighting
What is hpsv lamp?
High Pressure Sodium Vapour Lamps
What is the work of capacitor in sodium vapour lamp?
A sodium vapour lamp does not include a capacitor in its construction. Any capacitor associated with this type of fixture will be found where the ballast is located and not in the lamp itself.
What are the disadvantages of discharge lamp?
Disadvantages of sodium vapour discharge lamp
Which is the metal vapours used in yellow street lights?
Sodium vapour.
What element is used in the lighting of street lamps?
Sodium-vapour lamp, electric discharge lamp using ionized sodium,
Will mercury vapour work in a sodium vapour fixture?
no
Why a sodium vapour lamp gives pink colour followed by yellow?
This could be due to the fact that a sodium vapour lamp contains neon gas and when a current is passed through the two electrodes in the lamp the neon gas becomes ionised and shines red until vapourisation occurs and the sodium cause the typical characterised yellow.
Is there a use for sodium?
Sodium is used for loads of things! Sodium Chloride is table salt, sodium metal is used to prepare elements to make alloys, and sodium vapour is used in street lights. It is also key in the paper, glass and textile industry. Hope this Helps!!

Why sodium vapour lamps are used as street light instead of simple tube light?
Sodium lighting is more efficient to run than white lights, and it gives an even light with less glare.
