We require cars and bicycles to have lights on at night to make it easier for other drivers to be able to stop their car quickly enough. I don’t see why we couldn’t require some reasonable action from pedestrians, too. I’m not suggesting pedestrians should become Christmas trees, but things like “don’t be dressed in Vantablack” seem reasonable to me. Firstly, though, street designs should aim to have street lighting wherever car drivers and pedestrians are expected to interact.
