A pedestrian walking at night on the roadway or hard shoulder, must they carry any item that allows them to be seen?
Traffic rules
Explanation
To ensure the **safety of pedestrians** walking on the road at night, it is important that they are **visible to drivers**. This is achieved by using elements that reflect light, such as a **reflective vest**.
- **Outside urban areas**, it is mandatory for pedestrians to wear a luminous or bright element that can be seen from a distance of 150 meters. This includes reflective vests or luminous bracelets. Visibility is crucial to prevent accidents, as drivers must be able to detect pedestrians with sufficient anticipation.
- On the other hand, **within towns and cities**, pedestrians should walk on the sidewalk whenever possible, which reduces the need for reflective elements, as streets are usually better lit and pedestrians are more protected from traffic.
Therefore, the correct answer is that pedestrians should wear a reflective vest or similar **only when walking outside urban areas**.
