Be a Safe Pedestrian...

According to the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia, approximately 2,700 pedestrians are injured in car crashes, on a 5 year average. Sure, city councillors are implementing safety measures, which include speed reduction on commuter routes, but pedestrians need to do their part to ensure their safety when visibility is low: at dusk or in bad weather.

This means crossing only at marked crosswalks, looking left and right, making eye contact with drivers, and preferably wearing reflective clothing.

Did you know that a driver travelling at 60 MPH needs over 250 feet to stop?  Wearing reflectors increases pedestrian visibility by a factor of five.

Our friends at A.A.Advertising offer numerous options for the safety conscious pedestrian, including jackets, shirts, vests, & caps all with Reflective piping.

Looking for a low-cost alternative?  Why not consider zip-tag reflectors, like these...

The Halloween reflectors are perfect for little goblins -- attach to their jacket zipper with ease [available for as low as $0.98 ea.].  Also available are the "Be Safe, Be Seen" Zip-Tags, which include one large zipper reflector, plus two shoe lace tag reflectors [available for as low as $1.39 ea.]  Have them packed in "Safety Cards" for added value [at a cost of $0.28 ea card]!

A University of Michigan safety study concluded that retro-reflectors increased pedestrian nightime recognition distances to motorists by 60% - 80%.

Refective Zip Tags are perfect for insurance brokers, schools [as part of a "walk safe" program], malls, restaurants, or any other retail venue.
