Police are reminding people who use the roads on the islands for recreational purposes to make sure they can be seen during the hours of darkness.
Walkers, joggers, and cyclists are urged to consider wearing reflective clothing or use lights/torches to ensure that motorists are aware that they are there.
Inspector Adrian Barnett, head of RCIPS Traffic Department, says, “Joggers, cyclists and walkers are commonplace on the islands with many people using the road network in the twilight hours or when it’s dark. If you are one of those people I would ask you to stop and think before you go out.”
Inspector Barnett adds, “Will what you are wearing make you visible – have you attached lights to your bicycle – could you do anything else to make sure that you can be seen and avoid any possibility of drivers failing to see you on the road?
All road users, whether they are drivers, cyclists or pedestrians have a responsibility for their own safety and the safety of others. By taking a few minutes to add lights, or change into reflective clothing you could avoid either causing, or becoming involved in, a road accident.”
Anyone who wishes to obtain road safety advice should call the RCIPS Traffic department on 946-6254.
