When we got closer, we could tell it was a female walking southbound on Morse on the right side of the northbound road (facing toward oncoming traffic). She wasn't wearing any visibility enhancing items such as a light or reflective clothing item (although we did see her). The multimodal path was available to her. I can't understand why anyone would take such an unnecessary risk. If I felt the need to walk on this major TV road, I would certainly make sure that I used safety items to make myself highly visible.
As I understand from other posts I have read here, walking in the road when a sidewalk (or the intermodal) is available, is illegal as well as dangerous.
