Bill > HR1177

This resolution, passed by the Georgia House of Representatives, urges pedestrians to wear bright or reflective clothing at night to increase their visibility to drivers, aiming to reduce the significant number of pedestrian deaths in the state, which are largely occurring during nighttime hours when visibility is reduced. The resolution acknowledges that wearing such gear is an effective way to improve pedestrian safety, as supported by the U.S. Department of Transportation, by making pedestrians more noticeable and giving drivers more time to react. Additionally, it calls for the Georgia Department of Transportation to continue its "See & Be Seen" campaign, which focuses on improving infrastructure like medians, crosswalks, signals, and lighting to further enhance pedestrian safety, and directs the Clerk of the House to distribute copies of the resolution to the Department of Transportation and the public.
