In recent days, visibility has been poor on the streets of Kyiv, so residents are being asked to make themselves visible on the road and wear reflectors.
Thanks to this accessory, the visibility of a pedestrian on the road increases to 130-150 meters, but without it, the driver can only notice a pedestrian from a distance of 25-30 meters.
"By turning on the high beam headlights, the driver will see a pedestrian at a distance of 300 to 400 meters, which is especially important on national highways," the police emphasize.
Flickers reflect light in the dark, so the driver can notice a pedestrian in time, reduce speed, or stop their car.
Kyiv residents are also asked to use reflective vests, choose clothing, a backpack or bag with reflective elements, and also teach children to do the same.
