It doesn't show Elaine, but does demonstrate that she should have been clearly visible with at least a moderate quality video camera system. Early in the clip, there are several pedestrians visible wearing both light and dark clothing, but of course, under different lights.
We need a "local" to really tell us what a human driving with low beams could discern, but this doesn't appear to be a dark alley.
See the video above.
Traveling over what appears to be a bridge or overpass at the beginning of the clip is a 35 MPH speed limit sign. I don't see any signs that override that.
How can you say anyone should have been visible if it isn't even known where they were? People are posting that she was on the median and stepped out from behind a bush? How is this known?
I assure you it is a 45mph zone. It has been every time I've cycled under the freeway there including on Sat.
I thought based on recent discussion there was new data made available as to where Elaine was and when she should have been sensed, but if the same as last week there is nothing new here.
