Question 7002
Pedestrians traveling on the shoulder of roads outside a built-up area — when are they required to use an approved luminous or reflective element?
- When weather conditions significantly reduce visibility.
- Whenever they travel on the shoulder, both day and night.
- When the shoulder is less than 1.5 meters wide, both day and night.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: When weather conditions significantly reduce visibility.
When fog, rain or another cause greatly reduces visibility, even during the day, and always at night. In these conditions, pedestrians walking on the shoulder or roadway of a road outside a built-up area must have at least one lighted or reflective item visible from 150 meters or more away. In good daylight, this is not required, regardless of the shoulder’s width. In the picture, fog reduces visibility and the pedestrian is wearing a reflective vest.
