Best to wear brighter colored clothing or even better, reflective clothing, especially at night.
Reflective ankle bands attract more attention because of the movement.
Reflective strips can also be placed on cases or bags.
Stick to better lit areas.
Walk facing oncoming traffic so that you can see any impending danger.
Cross at demarcated intersections as motorists are more in expectation of pedestrians in these areas. However, do not assume that if you cross at such an area that you are safe.
Do not cut-through traffic as you are less visible.
Do not cross the road from a point where you are hidden from view such as behind a bus.
Before crossing the road, always first look the side of the road that the vehicles closest to you are approaching from.
Children, due to their smaller size, are less visible on the roads.
Wearing bright, fluorescent or reflective clothing can help you stand out from the background and make it easier for drivers to see you. This is particularly important during dawn, dusk, and nighttime.
You can also use reflective gear such as armbands, vests, or ankle bands that reflect light, making you more visible to drivers.
Consider using a flashlight, headlamp, or even a bike light to make yourself more visible, particularly in low-light conditions.
When walking in areas with low visibility, stick to well-lit areas such as sidewalks or streets with streetlights.
Avoid using your phone, listening to loud music or anything else that might distract you from being aware of your surroundings.
When crossing the road or walking near a driver, try to make eye contact to ensure they see you and know that you are crossing.
