>it actually is hard to see pedestrians who have a bad habit of walking around wearing all black at night because they don't want to use the crosswalks that may be 1/2 mile away.
It's not on pedestrians to wear reflective clothing just for you. Nor is it reasonable to expect someone to make a 1/2 mile detour just to cross the road. That could add 10-15 minutes to their journey.
You are the one operating a heavy, fast-moving piece of machinery. If it's dark and there are people around, drive slowly and carefully.
