The days are getting shorter and it gets dark again sooner. Thus, the danger for pedestrians and cyclists in the road traffic to be overlooked. Bright clothing and reflective materials can increase visibility even at dusk, thus preventing accidents.
Especially at dusk but also in fog or rain, colors and details are less visible to the eye. So pedestrians or cyclists with insufficient light can be quickly overlooked. Even light clothing helps to be noticed sooner. It is even earlier recognized by the wearing of reflective materials such as reflectors, reflective vests, etc. because they illuminate very brightly by illuminating the car’s light even at a greater distance.
With the campaign “Make yourself visible in traffic”, the state police and the commission for accident prevention want to draw attention to this self-protection of the weaker road users. In addition, caps with reflective fabric will be delivered this year.
