Question 5888

Outside a built-up area, between sunset and sunrise, a pedestrian walking on the roadway or the shoulder must carry a ….

  1. red reflector that can be seen from a distance of at least 50 meters.
  2. light-emitting or retroreflective element that can be seen from a distance of at least 150 meters.
  3. cell phone with a charged battery.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: light-emitting or retroreflective element that can be seen from a distance of at least 150 meters.

Outside built-up areas at night, pedestrians on the roadway or shoulder must carry or wear a light-emitting or reflective item, such as a vest, that is visible from at least 150 meters away. A red reflector visible from 50 meters does not meet the requirement, and a cell phone does not help others see you.
