Woman dies after being hit by a car in Grover Beach

Proper, quality, and correct distribution of night lighting may be the answer, not simply more lighting. Disabling glare from bad lighting is a real problem in our cities. This is especially exacerbated when fog & rain on windshields amplifies glare and creates more distortion of the view in front of drivers. City officials in planning and building departments have historically ignored the problems that bad artificial night lighting creates in both urban and rural environments. The most prudent and safest thing pedestrians can do to protect themselves is to carry a flashlight and use it while walking along the shoulder of roadways or crossing streets so as to enhance their visibility to drivers.
