Must pedestrians walking on the hard shoulder at night be equipped with a luminous or retro-reflective element?

Correct answer

Yes, outside built-up areas.

Yes, on interurban roads. Between sunset and sunrise, or when visibility is significantly reduced, Article 123 requires a pedestrian on the carriageway or shoulder to use at least one luminous or reflective element complying with personal-protective-equipment rules, visible from at least 150 metres. A vest is not the only permitted option. Groups must additionally carry the prescribed lights marking their position and dimensions.
