Be Seen , Stay Safe : Pedestrian Rules for Roads Without Pavements
Strategic Positioning
Maximum Visibility
Keep to the Right - Hand Side : Walk on the right side of the road to ensure you are facing and can see oncoming traffic directly .
Bright Colors for Poor Daylight : Wear or carry light- colored , bright , or fluorescent items to help other road users see you during the day .
Walk in Single File : On narrow roads or in poor light , pedestrians should walk one behind the other and stay as close to the side of the road as possible .
Reflective Gear for Nighttime :
In the dark , use reflective materials such as sashes , armbands , jackets , or footwear that are illuminated by car headlights .
3x Better Visibility : Drivers using headlights can see reflective materials up to three times further away than non - reflective materials .
Navigate Sharp Bends Safely :
It is safer to cross to the other side well before a sharp right - hand bend so oncoming traffic can see you ; cross back once the bend is cleared .
Non - Reflective Material
