However, in todays world, it is at least a courtesy to not cause harm to others by walking on the road where there are pedestrian trails parallel to the road - especially in the dark, while you're not visible, because you are causing danger to drivers, making them brake and swerve.
Same for ridin cars/bikes without lights in poor vis. conditions.
