Nighttime bicyclists and pedestrians can communicate more effectively with motorists if they wear reflective clothing that highlights their movements as well as their silhouettes. Extensive research has established that well-designed reflective clothing can increase your recognition by motorists 75%-!00% compared to non-reflective or fluorescent clothing. Clear definitions of direction and rate of travel give drivers up to three times more time and distance to react to your presence and to avoid collisions. The most effective reflective clothing will feature retroreflection technology and biomotion pattern recognition; if these features are not included your nighttime visibility to motorists and your safety will be greatly diminished.
