Reflectorization – A Step Toward Safer Walking
As long as pedestrians must share right-of-way with cars and bicycles, accidents are a possibility, especially at night. It is recommended that people of all ages wear reflective materials and clothing to increase the likelihood that you will be seen and reduce the risk of being struck by a motorist. The Federal Highway Administration has stated that “A person dressed completely in black wearing a thumb-sized reflector is detected at longer distance than a person dressed completely in white.” For more information and pricing on reflective materials call (914) 565-2037 or contact:
