The risks/dangers would be greater if you went out at nightfall/dusk


Explanation:
The risks would be greater (not COULD BE) if you went out at nightfall. This is the simplest way to say exactly what is being said. But with literature, you can also play with the metaphor etc: EX> With the darkness of dusk, the dangers of stepping out multiply.
