I disagree with part of what you said.

You say pedestrians should have the right to use highways? Are you then advocating for all limited access highways to have sidewalks and remove traffic lanes for that purpose even if those walkways are never used? That would be insane.

You are also placing the entire burden of safety on the motorist which is just as insane. It is just common sense that if you want to reduce injuries and fatalities among pedestrians, that you encourage them to wear zone article of light or reflective clothing at night.

If you have ever driven, you would understand how difficult it is to see a pedestrian at night or at dusk (especially in the rain) wearing dark clothing especially if they appear where you do not expect to see them such as jumping out mid-block from between parked cars. That is why safety should be everyone's responsibility.
