1) Correct
2) Lights that impair night vision are prohibited on the adjacent highway.
"At" refers to a single point. A highway, path, or road does not have a center, so "on" or "near" are more natural.
3) Migratory birds rest above the moonlight shimmer of the ocean. (Some birds can sleep while flying.)
The original sentence is gramatical but does not make sense.
4) A number of birds collide with broadcast towers.
5) Due to the ordinance, events with a high likelihood of accidents are forbidden.
6) Coincidentally, he looked skyward.
Skyward is already a direction.
7) After the retrofit, we will block all trespassing into this area. / The retrofit will block all tresspassing.
"Any kinds" should be "all kinds" or "any kind". The original sentence also seems to have a tense problem.
8) There is an entirely different set of stars in the north and south hemispheres. / The northern and southern hemispheres contain an altogether different set of stars.
Altogether is a hard word to use naturally.
9) Correct, but "Two out of five" or "two in five" are more natural.
10) At this rate, it's going to be too much stimulation for you. / At this rate it will be too much stimulation for you.
11) Thus, mere reinforcement is less rewarding.
I do not fully understand the original sentence.
12) Correct
