Lights on Before Dark Initiative 夕暮れ時の事故防止を心がけましょう Share!FacebookEmailTwitterWhatsApp 2013/10/03 Thursday Highlights, Security Sunset in autumn and winter coincides with rush hour, bringing with it a greater chance of traffic accidents. To prevent this, we would like cars, motorcycles and bicycles to turn on their lights slightly earlier than usual at the end of the day. We would also like to ask cyclists and pedestrians to wear reflector belts when riding their bicycles to alert other road users of their presence. To help raise awareness of traffic safety and prevent accidents we have launched the ‘Lights on Before Dark Initiative’ to promote turning on head lights early in time for sunset and the use of reflector belts by pedestrians and cyclists. Details: 1) Turning on lights early at sunset (cars, motorbikes and bicycles) Turning on headlights and lamps early when the sun begins to set. 2) Use of reflector belts (pedestrians and cyclists) When going out at sunset or night, wear bright clothing and light reflecting belts.
