Neon Reflective Stripes on Pedestrian attire to save Lives - No, this is not an eye test!

No, we are no longer kids.
We do not have to keep playing the game of  Spot the Pedestrian.

When  we published the article in 2012

Solving Traffic Problems


in Point 2., we mentioned 
" Accidents may happen due to bad lighting or low visibility. Maybe there should pass a law that we should wear brightly lighted stripped clothes at night when walking the streets. OR wear something like a tag that is bright and visible to any cars."

There should  be more awareness of the problem of low visibility during night time when  pedestrians wear all dark clothing(shirts and pants)  especially in dim areas of poor lighting, as well as during rainy or foggy situations.

All it takes is perhaps a 4  piece  yellow, neon, reflective sticker/patch  of  3 inch by 5 inch each,  pasted on 4 areas of the body attire : Front, Back, Left and Right, if one would choose to wear dark clothing full body during night time.

We strongly advocate a law on this.
