Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Article 123(1) of the General Traffic Regulations requires pedestrians who walk along the roadway or the shoulder on interurban roads, between sunset and sunrise or in weather or environmental conditions that significantly reduce visibility, to use at least one luminous or reflective item that complies with the regulations on personal protective equipment, visible from a minimum distance of 150 meters to drivers approaching them. It is not true that they must wait until dawn: the regulations do not prohibit walking at night, but require being seen. Nor is there any obligation to carry a green light: what is required is a luminous or reflective item that meets that visibility distance.
