Put the camera in shutter priority mode (S mode) and set the shutter speed to 1 second or thereabouts. Put the camera on a tripod and wait until it is dark. Wait for a vehicle to pass, and release the shutter. A shutter-release remote is a good idea, so you don't knock the camera.

You don't need a DSLR to do that…

ANY camera can do it…

you need a tripod, a night, and a setting on the camera that increases the shutter time to about 1 second or more… This was done with a point and shoot:

That's low speed night photography.

You need a tripod or a good place to hold the camera still (the camera should not shake), and a combination of low speed and small aperture (use it in manual or shutter priority). Try different speeds until you get the effect you want. Start with 1 second and up.
