Because

1) Humans night vision is significantly worse than your regular vision. Low light would cause more accidents, eg.

2) The elderly have pretty terrible night vision. Your idea would exclude them from half the day.

The elderly don't generally go to the park for a midnight stroll. Nighttime is the realm of the young.

  • What? When sunset is at 5pm you want to lock the elderly up in their homes? What about those that have trouble sleeping, like many do? Or those that wake up before sunrise?

    This is the kind of thinking that leads to totally inaccessible cities.
