It can be difficult to see pedestrians at night. Pedestrians should remember to maximize their visibility in poorly lit areas. This means wearing bright clothing and using designated crosswalks. Look both ways before crossing and never assume that drivers will see you. And drivers should always keep their eyes moving and block out distractions.
