These egg beaters could power your drive
Okay a bit cheeky, but these concepts from some engineering students for wind turbines over the highway could generate enough juice to power traffic signals and other important things for highway safety.
They might look far out, but for windy highways say in the mountain passes, they could probably be easier to deal with than the typical windmill style.

It seems to me that the biggest advantage of something like this is that you can can power lighting and other stuff without any cabling to the area. Of course, if the lighting needs to work 24/7, you might some other source of energy as well.
