LSP indicated that pedestrians should always wear bright or light-colored clothing and reflective material to make themselves visible to automobiles. Pedestrians should always use sidewalks and, if none are available, walk as close to the roadway's edge as possible while facing traffic. Always carry a flashlight when walking at night for increased safety.
