Safety Tips For Walking At Night And When Using An Umbrella

  • Dress in light coloured clothes or carry something that is light in colour. This allows you to be seen by other road users. Just because you can see the lights of a vehicle doesn't mean that the driver can see you. Visibility for the driver is limited at night, and it is made worse when you wear dark clothes.
  • Be extra cautious when crossing at night even at pedestrian crossings. Unless the crossing is brightly lit, the road signs and markings may not show up to an oncoming driver.
  • Do not allow your umbrella to obscure your vision when walking along a road or crossing. If you cannot see what is happening, you cannot avoid danger.
