so my assumption is that, being a highway, the shoulder is about six feet wide, there are multiple lanes, and there is great visibility of the ditch next to the highway (that headlights do light up). that’s what a highway is around here
in that case, walking speed is more than enough time to react, assuming you’re actually paying attention while driving and looking ahead.

I don’t think those are reasonable assumptions. In some places, yes.
sorry, I should have included that the article calls out “freeway”, which means restricted access
I think it’s a pretty fair assumption for a major freeway in the US
