At night, accidents are more frequent and more serious. The share of pedestrians killed at night represents 47% of the pedestrian mortality, or 233 pedestrians. It is a little stronger than that of all users killed at night (41%). But this proportion varies according to the environment: pedestrians killed at night represent 32% of the pedestrian mortality in the city (342 of which 110 at night), 73% of the pedestrian mortality on roads outside urban areas (113 of which 83 at night) and 91% pedestrian toll on motorway (44 of which 40 at night).
At night or in fog, pedestrian groups should be visible
Wearing retro-reflective equipment, such as the yellow safety vest, is not required at night or in low visibility. Road safety only recommends that pedestrians wear light-colored clothing or retro-reflective tape to be visible at 150 m instead of 30 m.
On the other hand, the Highway Code provides that “at night, or during the day when visibility is insufficient, the processions, convoys, processions or groupings of pedestrians must be indicated at the front by at least one white or yellow light.
Wearing yellow vest for drivers stopped on the roadside
Since July 2008, motorists and truck drivers have to wear a yellow vest when they are forced out of their parked vehicle on the road or by the roadside. Since 1 January 2016, this requirement also applies to drivers of two or three-wheeled motor vehicles. In addition, the Labor Code requires the use of high-visibility clothing for workers working on roads and highways during construction work or temporary danger.
Raising the awareness of the youngest
Many local initiatives to protect pedestrians have been adopted. Departmental councils require the wearing of the yellow vest for children who use the school bus. Since the start of the school year 2015, a half-day of awareness of good behaviors and basic safety rules has been introduced in high schools. Wearing retro-reflective tape or fluorescent visibility elements on clothing, school bags or armbands is recommended.
