We’ve got the crosswalks, where’s the lighting?

I support the idea of crosswalks and the fines for not stopping to let a pedestrian cross the road. My beef is that at certain times in the year visibility is an issue.

It is hard to see someone walking on the street or waiting to cross at the designated areas especially if they are dressed in dark coloured clothes. When I see someone at a crosswalk, I will stop to let them cross, but I have to see them first. I hope that sufficient lighting will be installed in order to safely stop to let someone cross the road.
