Didn't really expect much from DrivingUk but honestly the amount of downvotes shocked me. God forbid people go out at night dressed normally without full on high vis.

Both can be true.
It can (and is) true that we need better pedestrian infrastructure. Or more to the point, less car-centric infrastructure.
But it can (and is) also true that a pedestrian should take basic safety precautions when around dangerous things. He should likewise look both ways before crossing a bike path (infrastructure we support) and shouldn't cross train tracks (also infrastructure we support) when the train is coming.
We live largely in a world that caters to cars. I hope that can change. But that doesn't absolve personal safety responsibility.
