HEALTH NOTE
by Sally Coffin, R.N.
BEING SAFE MEANS BEING SEEN
I’ve often come upon a cyclist, hitchhiker, jogger or someone walking along the road and been startled by how close I’ve come to just missing them in the darkness of night or the glare of headlights on a rainy evening. As is the case on our rural island roads, there are no walkways and the roads are often quite narrow. We need to be seen to keep ourselves safe. Many serious accidents happen because drivers do not see other road users until it is too late. The following are some safety tips for keeping yourself safe along the roads:
During the day always wear clothing or carry something with bright colors – fluorescent materials are even better as they help you stand out during the daylight hours and in the evening before it turns dark.
Always walk facing traffic.
Wear something reflective so you can be seen when car headlights are shining towards you. Even a small patch of reflective material can help drivers see you from very far away.
Always carry a source of light with you- a flashlight is good, a cell phone will do in a pinch! It provides safety on two counts. First you will be able find your way along the road and secondly you will be seen by drivers as they come along.
