Question 6995

When pedestrians travel along the shoulder at night, are they required to carry a light or a retroreflective element?

  1. No, under no circumstances, although it is advisable.
  2. Yes, on any type of road.
  3. Only when traveling on roads outside a built-up area.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Only when traveling on roads outside a built-up area.

Only on roads outside built-up areas. There, at night or in poor visibility, pedestrians on the shoulder or roadway must carry or wear at least one light-emitting or reflective item that is visible from at least 150 meters away. This is not mandatory in cities.
