Is a pedestrian walking at night on the shoulder of a road outside a built-up area required to wear something to make themselves visible?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Traffic regulations state that outside built-up areas, between sunset and sunrise or in weather conditions that significantly reduce visibility, any pedestrian walking on the roadway or shoulder must be equipped with an approved luminous or retro-reflective element. This element must be visible at a minimum distance of 150 meters to approaching drivers. The goal is to ensure that drivers can detect the pedestrian far enough in advance to avoid an accident, given that speeds are higher on these roads and lighting is often non-existent.
