Summary/Abstract: Over 800 pedestrians are killed in road accidents in Poland every year. Inadequate visibility, especially at night, is a main cause of these accidents. Retro-reflective accessories, which reflect the light of car headlights towards their source are effective in improving road workers’ and pedestrians’ visibility. This article discusses the legal requirements for marketing retro-reflective accessories, for their construction, limitations in use and technical requirements set out in a European standard.
