This prove that the area is well lit currently, but not necessarily that it was very well lit the day and hour of the accident.

It was a very notorious case. I would expect authorities silently improving the lit in the area and taking other correction measures in all those months.



I actually used to bike that road all the time 3-4 years ago. The bridge section before it could be disturbingly dark, but the point where she was crossing was decently lit, as I recall. It was also somewhere I would never consider crossing, mostly because there was a crosswalk just up ahead.

Still, if I absolutely had to it was definitely an intersection to watch carefully for cars when crossing, but one with fairly long sightlines for that.


I wish I had a link for you, but there was a youtube video of the same section of road take just a day (I think) after the accident. That video was well lit.


The Ars article above is from the week after the accident.
