Not pedestrian, but many underpasses here in Illinois are lit by SOX fixtures, presumably with 55W bulbs, though they are slowly being replaced by LED. I haven't seen a single burnt-out bulb, surprisingly, but of course, once a bulb burns out, they won't be able to replace them unless they have some large stockpile of bulbs, which they probably do.

LEDs made everything better and worse at the same time.

I’d say the most common configuration for pedestrian underpasses I’ve seen here is typically fluorescent mounted at an angle with a diffuser. The diffusers apparently don’t need any vandal proofing.

Now for let’s say a regular underpass for motorists, MV is very common with HPS is second to that. Most municipalities still maintain them fairly well. Of course corn cobs are invading.
