The most crowded I've ever seen the W&OD was at night.  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.
