🌙 Be Safe, Be Seen! 🚗

As the days get shorter, it's harder for drivers to spot people out walking. What you wear matters!

🖤 Dark clothing → seen from just 65–95 feet away
🤍 Light clothing → seen from 195 feet away
✨ Reflective gear → seen from 400 feet away

🚙 An average car needs 124 feet to see you, react, and stop.

The math is simple: the more visible you are, the more time a driver has to stop safely. 💡

Dress bright, dress reflective — Be Safe, Be Seen! 🦺🔦
