The participation numbers would go down with each scenario...
how many are out after dark?
how many are out after dark and riding in an unlit area?
How many are out after dark while it is raining?
So is all the need for the striping limited to the maybe 1% that may or may not be out after the sun goes down.
I prefer to look at the hundreds of thousands of golf cart trips made over the past 20 years and the 98% who made it out and back home again, many after dark and s few more in the rain.
Hundreds of thousands of trips executed safely.
Remember the real safety threat has all to do with the condition of the driver and what they were doing at the time of their accident.....and almost nothing to do with where is the edge of the road. The striping will not change the driver caused problems....not one bit!
