I tend to agree generally.

But due to unusual circumstances recently, I needed to drive a long way along Buena Vista north of 466a, east over to Morse, then a ways north on Morse, all after dark. I never felt in extreme danger, but there were definitely times I felt visibility should have been better. Edges were very hard to see at times. Some medians were on me very quickly. It was hard to tell sometimes whether approaching headlights were a cart on the path or a car on a nearby road.

I could see how night driving on the paths could be a problem at times, especially for those of us with less than the keen physical senses we had in our youth.
