The pilot scheme would focus on the A1079 between York and Hull.
The main Hull to York road could be used to test how to cut the cost of powering the UK's street lights.
It has applied for £5m from the Department for Transport to fund the pilot and believes cost-cutting measures could save about £575m a year.Councillor Chris Matthews, cabinet member for environment and climate change, said the UK's 7.2m street lights used £1bn in energy each year.He said that amounted to 500,000 tonnes of energy carbon and 500,000 tonnes of steel.
"The pilot is based on real-life trials which will review the current standards and develop new guidelines to be adopted nationally, with an ambition to change British codes of practice," he said. The Live Lab will also include input from the Department of Infrastructure Northern Ireland, county councils in Cambridgeshire, Derbyshire and Lancashire, Westminster City Council and Sheffield University.
