Our eyes need light to see. When driving, seeing the road, other road-users, obstacles and animals is what keeps us safe. Seeing allows us to act, react and decide. Better lighting lets drivers and road-users see more, sooner and more clearly – and thus adapt to the situation.
*In accidents involving personal injury, the proportion of fatally injured car occupants and pedestrians is increased by an average of 84% when visibility is restricted.
