walk on the side of the road facing oncoming traffic (except on curves, where it is best to walk on the outside edge of the curve)

at night, wear light-coloured or reflective clothing, or carry a torch to help you be seen."
I see that recently pedestrians have been in collisions with vehicles.
I have noticed in Oamaru at night they wear dark clothing and walk on the same side of the road as the traffic. this is not what the rode code recommends.
It is very hard to see these pedestrians at night so it is no wonder they are hit if are not following the rules.
I hope the drivers are not going to be punished for the irresponsibilty of the pedestrians.
Maybe the powers at be could advertise this advice as they seem to concentrate on the vehicle drivers. eg fasten seat belts, don"t use cell phones etc

I have noticed lately this site seems to have nothing but constant adverts especially for marketing for other regions or just plain spam, what are your thoughts on this?
