Oh my goodness! That is too good!Yeah that looks better, but can tell it is struggling with light.
For focus, you need to take the step from 20 and put it to 1. Right now it is swinging 20 steps. Even better is to have someone stand out there (or stop a car) and do an autofocus to get it in the center of the road.
For comps, here is mine LOL

Ok, will do. I am too jealous of the quality of the images you folks are getting.Zoom more. No downside.
Do you force your night settings to color? Or should I allow it to stay monochrome (auto mode)?You can force it into color. The faster shutter needs more light so it forces it to color.
Ok, I have night-mode tuned for people and walking. Image looks spectactular (to me anyway). It is not tuned to capturing cars except with a blur. My risk factor is for people, so I think I'm good. I have other cameras that capture License plates at night. (even though I am learning that I can tune them better as well!)Yep only force into color at night if you have the light for it.
These cameras need more light than people think, especially if you want to freeze frame. The faster the shutter, the more light that is needed. As you saw, simply changing your shutter speed to 1/2000 at 4:45pm with still light out and the camera decided that wasn't enough light for color.
Outstanding! Love that clarity!Finally we see a great capture from your camera!
That looks good. Now as bigredfish said, you can zoom that in a bit more and get a tad more detail on a person.
But yeah that will be the balance with that camera. See how fast you can go on a shutter to get a clean image of a person and possibly tighten up the vehicle as well.
Here is mine at night:
