Every year, over 60, 00 pedestrian and vehicle-related accidents occur across the nation — many of which happen here in Massachusetts. As we approach further into the fall season, the sun will continue to rise later and set earlier, meaning driver visibility will be at a minimum.
How to Stay Visible
For pedestrians and cyclists, it’s important to wear bright clothing after sunset, and cyclists should always have a rear and front light to notify cars of your whereabouts. Heading out for an after sunset walk with your dog or loved one? Bring a flashlight! There are so many products out there these days that are lightweight, weather resistant and affordable — and these little lights can end up saving your life.
