BE SAFE BE SEEN

• Make sure you can be easily seen, especially at night, on dark days and in bad weather.

• Bright or fluorescent clothes show up best by day, especially in dull or misty weather.

• By night, reflective material is best and shows up in car headlights - fluorescent clothing doesn't work after dark. Reflective tape can be put on clothing, school bags and equipment.

• It is against the law to cycle at night without a white front light, a red back light and a red reflector at the back, so make sure all bikes are properly equipped and working.

• Cross the road at the safest place possible. e.g. zebra, pelican, puffin and patrolled crossings.

• Use the Green Cross Code: Stop, Look, Listen.

• If you are out at night, choose routes that are well-lit by streetlights and cross at well-lit places.
