I like the concept.
I'd prefer the image taken a little later in the evening, but I understand the choice of timing.
Compositionally there's too much dead space along the right edge and along the top.
Everything to the right of the street lights is monotonous.
Everything sky related above the top of the far left power pole (or center two small clouds) is empty space.
If you had changed you PoV a little more left and down, it may (depending the road) bring more the of the sweeping curve through the image, giving more drama.
I also think your true vertical is about 1 to 1.5 degrees counter clockwise. All the towers and streetlights lean to the right.
Last note, if you enjoy and plan on taking more of these long exposure images, especially at twilight, pick up a couple 2 or 3 stop neutral density filters. That would have allowed you to drop your f stop down to f11ish where diffraction won't take such a toll on resolution. The image is noticeably softer than it could be.
