Having super quick evolution cycles, could it be that insects evolved to avoid roads?

I remember the story of a species of moths living in German industrial cities.

These were normally brown like tree bark but evolved to look like sooty brick in a few years.

Insects have ears (although highly varying in capability) which could lead them to avoid dangerous zones.

Anecdotally i would say i see fewer insects circling around lamps too.
