I have seen it. Check streetview too, it's helpful. I really hate to defend this position because I feel terrible for her and it's quite obvious uber made some very bad calls here. (in fact I even used the very loaded word murder in another comment, see my post history). I'm definitely not arguing to put all or even most of the blame on the woman. The intersection is indeed absolutely terrible. It makes no sense. You're not allowed to cross there, there are even signs which state it on both sides, referring to a crosswalk a minute walking up ahead. i.e., there is just no way you're allowed to cross there, despite the island in the middle having the cosmetic design of a walkway, you're not supposed to get on the island or get off it or cross the roads at that location. It's a terrible design choice, both inviting people to cross (in a dangerous spot), while also saying it's illegal. With better infrastructure planning you could have railing there preventing crossing, and no island at all. That having been said, I can't for the life of me imagine crossing there and not seeing an oncoming car with its headlights on, assuming I was paying attention to the road I was illegally crossing. The fact meth is involved is a helpful possible explanation for why this kind of attention was not given. You can check out the road on google street view, it definitely helps. I think you'd agree on two things, one is that it's not allowed to cross there and two that if you were to cross there, it'd be pretty easy to see cars. The reverse isn't necessarily true if you wear dark clothing at night.
