Relative to promoting pedestrian safety by the wearing of reflective material or possession of luminescent devices. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill aims to promote pedestrian safety by requiring individuals walking outdoors in unilluminated areas after dusk to wear a minimum of 500 square inches of reflective material on their chest and back, or to be in possession of a functional personal luminescent device such as a flashlight, headlamp, or lantern. The bill proposes to amend existing Massachusetts state law (Chapter 90, Section 18A) to add these new requirements, which are intended to increase the visibility of pedestrians and enhance their safety in low-light conditions.
