TY - JOUR PY - 2010// TI - Research initiatives to improve the visibility and hence safety of road workers at night-time JO - Journal of the Australasian College of Road Safety A1 - Wood, Joanne M. A1 - King, M. J. SP - 23 EP - 24 VL - 21 IS - 2 N2 - Collisions between vehicles and pedestrians represent a significant road safety problem and are overrepresented at night-time, with pedestrians being up to seven times more likely to be involved in a fatal collision at night than in the day. This is particularly relevant at road work sites, which place road workers in a potentially vulnerable position with respect to oncoming traffic.
