Similar street lamps are still everywhere in the US. But mercury street lighting is pretty rare. HPS is much more common. Hence why a nighttime satellite photo of any city is almost always orange. LEDs are displacing a lot of HPS though.
Though I'm not 100% sure, the suburb my shop is in has very unique and decorative street lamps and their light is very white, definitely not HPS. Probably mercury/rectified mercury. Though some of the not-decorative lights are induction fluorescent.
