I've never heard of a walker getting injured by a car around here when it was dark. ....“

In bright daylight a woman was walking in the cart lane to be abreast of her friends on the sidewalk was hit by a cart. Her head hit the curb. She died.

In my Village all feeder roads have cart lanes and a sidewalk.
Older Villages often only have cart lanes.

In Florida pedestrians must use the sidewalk if one is present, regardless of the direction the pedestrian is traveling.
