Urban night landscape photography is often combined with tracks from the lights of passing cars. And what if there are very few cars on the street? If you have your own car, then you can solve the issue with the tracks! You can even handle it alone, but it's better to do it with an assistant, at least put your friend/girlfriend close so that the tripod does not thieve until you ride around.

It is better to go so that the tail lights can be seen - even the dipped headlights will immediately overexposure the frame, and the red tracks look spectacular!

Here is an example from another series with a low beam.

Well, as without experiments! If the traffic situation allows, you can at least draw the lights.

Choose a different story. Here I tried to drive with a slightly depressed brake pedal.

I was wagging here, traveling with an emergency lights.

Without emergency lights.

With the rear fog lights on.

Well, the most successful shot, in my opinion.

Exposure for all frames was 30 seconds. The aperture and ISO are selected based on the exposure.
Well and most importantly - be extremely careful and not to violate the Traffic Laws!
