Letter: ​Be safe at night, make sure you’re bright

Once again, I write to remind pedestrians to cross the roads carefully to avoid the emergency room or morgue. Especially at night, I would like to see: fluorescent clothing, a white handkerchief, a flashlight or reflective tape.

The athletes and runners who meet at Fleet Feet in Carrboro are to be applauded for their terrific safety gear.

Is your clothing dark? Easy solution on a budget?

Take a Mylar bag of potato chips, flatten it out and use the inside in strips to attach to your clothing. I was a Girl Scout and a Girl Scout leader. Constructive suggestions are ALWAYS welcome.
