The above statement is True.
Convex mirrors are divergent. The street lights employ a convex mirror because then they can form an image of objects spread over a wide area. When the object is placed at infinity, the virtual image is formed at the focus, which is erect and highly diminished. However, a concave mirror lacks that quality.
