For all those who would rather not be blinded by the light

On roads without sidewalks (in Washington at least) you are legally required to walk against the flow of traffic.

On MUPs on the other hand everyone runners and walkers included should keep to the right.

Also - in the dark, hi-viz is pretty useless.... only lights/reflectors will get you seen. I've come up on runners who probably thought they were being responsible - wearing lots of white or yellow. They are still invisible until the last minute.

Arkansas law is the same... if you're running or walking on a public roadway, you should be on the "wrong" side of the road, facing oncoming traffic. On the MUPs, signs are posted at all access points directing everyone to walk right, run right, and ride right.

Ninja season is closing in fast, though...

I do try to turn my light a bit down, but I do need to see far ahead of me. I right in total darkness through a park. I'm not too worried about ninjas (although I did see a guy running out of a trail at 6:30 this morning), but coyotes could be on the road. Or I could run over something and lose control. No thanks.

In other areas however where there's lots of city light, I turn down the intensity.

As long as it is shielded and/or pointed down a bit you can leave it as bright as you like.... seriously it only blinds people coming at you if its right shining in their eyes. I point my bright light down and leave a flashing one pointed straight out.
