    The latter. Most of my running is on footpaths, but plenty of junctions to be crossed, and I do occasionally have runs on roads with no footpaths. There are too many motorists that wouldn't notice a literal Christmas tree running along the road, never a mind a human with a few reflections and lights. If a car is approaching, I know exactly where they are at all times, and am always ready to step into the ditch until they have passed

    Wow! To me that is lunacy but each to their own. Being lit up gives as much safety as possible, I always assume the car doesn't see me but equally I'm not guaranteed to see the car (someone driving with no lights on meets a runner with no lights on, who is in the wrong?? - doesn't matter as the runner comes off worse) And before anyone says the chances of a car driving on a dark road with no lights on are low, I say so are the chances of meeting a runner on a dark road with no lights on :P.

    I live in a town with footpaths and streetlights for my winter routes. To compare lets say you lived 1.5km from Pheonix Park so you run to the park on footpaths, do whatever laps you want away from cars and traffic and then run home. Would people here wear lights for that? I don't but wondering if I should. LIGHTS not tights!

    I run in the Phoenix park after dark quite a bit. I would always have lights running on the footpaths up & down Chesterfield avenue as there are almost always some walkers there. If you dont have lights you tend to frighten them running up on them!
