High-Visibility Clothing |
CAN encourages people to wear high-visibility clothing where appropriate when cycling, especially in low-visibility or busy road environments and believes that it may contribute to improved cycle safety, although the research is inconclusive. However, CAN is opposed to mandatory requirements for high-visibility clothing. |
