The German "Workers Compensation Insurance Institution" (Berufsgenossenschaft) informs pedestrians how to not get run over by dressing appropriately and taking over responsibilities of drivers.
Advice includes: - don't cross in road sections with decreased visibility - make eye contact with the driver before crossing (how am I supposed to do that in the dark against their headlights?!) - when buying reflective clothing, pay attention that it fulfills the European Standard DIN EN 17353 and EN ISO 20471. - keep in mind that cars have a longer breaking distance in the snow when driving 50km/h (how about they don't go 50km/h then?!)
And my personal highlight: What to wear (I am working night shift on an airport runway apparently): - reflecting clothing - reflective/led strips on legs and arms - headlight - also use reflectors/lights on mobility devices, shopping carts, trollies and backpacks
