I always find it strange to see Hi-Viz on the item/user that would be the least of a safety hazard. As opposed to being on the item in the area that has the moat potential to be a safety hazard.
It makes sense, it should be the driver that’s on the lookout for the pedestrians and not as much the other way around. So extra visibility stuff to those that are supposed to be spotted. Also cars have lights and whatnot.
Winter in Southern Finland, no snow, dark as hell, everyone wearing black clothing, no reflectors, walking with nose on the phone… Even with properly working lights, street lighting, driving slow just in case, it can be hard to see some pedestrians. I make sure to at least have a few reflectors hanging about when I’m walking around.
