Pedestrians walking on the shoulder on roads outside built-up areas, when must they use an approved light or reflective device?
Traffic rules
Explanation
Pedestrians walking on the shoulder on roads outside built-up areas must use a **luminous or reflective element** when **weather conditions reduce visibility**. This is important so that drivers can see pedestrians from a safe distance, especially in low visibility situations such as fog, heavy rain, or at night.
- **Luminous or reflective elements**: These can be reflective vests, luminous bracelets, or any object that shines and is visible from at least 150 meters.
- **Reduced visibility**: Adverse weather conditions can make it difficult for drivers to see pedestrians. Using reflective elements helps prevent accidents by increasing the visibility of pedestrians.
Therefore, it is crucial that pedestrians take these precautions for their safety and that of others on the road.
