PEDESTRIAN SAFETY AT NIGHT /IN GERMAN/

EXPERIMENTS WERE CARRIED OUT IN EAST GERMANY TO IMPROVE THE PERCEPTIBILITY OF PEDESTRIAN-CROSSINGS AT NIGHT. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT IMPROVED WARNING BE PROVIDED BY MEANS OF FLASHING SIGNS AND STRONGER FIXED LIGHTING. TO SAFEGUARD THE PEDESTRIAN ON UNLIT STREETS, NORMALLY OUTSIDE THE TOWN CENTER, THE WEARING OF REFLECTORIZED MATERIAL BY THE PEDESTRIAN IS RECOMMENDED. /TRRL/
