I've never seen anyone stopped on it for being on it at night. Parts of the trail has streetlights, which are only useful at night. All signs I've seen on the trail are retroreflective, a property that's only useful at night. There are signs facing the trail where it passes through parks saying that the adjacent park is closed after dark, implying that one shouldn't exit the trail there after dark, but that it's okay to remain on it. The trail is touted for commuting, which, unless you work really weird hours, will inevitably be in the dark some of the year. -- Keith F.
