Safety tips for pedestrians: Pedestrians are urged to take extra precautions when walking at night. That means wearing brightly-coloured clothing, which will make it easy for motorists to see them.
If there is no sidewalk, walk on the side of the road where you’ll be facing oncoming traffic. That way, you’ll be able to see cars headed toward you, thus giving you a chance to dive or dodge out of the way if necessary.
