2019 Traffic Safety Conference Nighttime Visibility Video

Pedestrian Deaths on the Rise
Tragically, traffic safety trends are currently heading in the wrong direction. For example, pedestrian deaths in Texas jumped from 357 in 2010 to more than 600 last year. To highlight this problem, attendees were given a reflective vest to wear should they have a nighttime vehicle emergency. During the opening session, the attendees were shown a video demonstrating how much more visible pedestrians are to drivers when wearing a reflective vest. A walking tour highlighted numerous downtown San Antonio pedestrian safety improvements, with guides noting improvements implemented by the city.
