Question 4126
A pedestrian traveling at night on the shoulder or the roadway of a road outside a built-up area, must they wear any element that allows them to be seen?

- Only if traveling on the roadway, but not when traveling on the shoulder.
- No, it is not required.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, they must wear an approved illuminated or retroreflective element.
Yes. On roads outside built-up areas, pedestrians walking on the shoulder or roadway between sunset and sunrise must wear or carry at least one approved light-emitting or reflective item visible from 150 meters or more. The rule is the same on the shoulder as on the roadway. In the image, the reflective vest makes the pedestrian visible in the car's lights.
