Hi Glo Silver’s job is to encourage second class pupils to wear
bright clothing when they are out walking or cycling.
They will pledge to wear jackets, armbands or belts and remind their parents,
family and friends to do the same. Just like becoming a Seatbelt Sheriff,
pupils will receive a 
certificate that gives them the power to instruct everyone when they walk or cycle to wear safety gear.

Why wear Hi Glo
It can often be hard for drivers to see people who are on foot or on their bike.
Wearing bright clothing makes it easier to spot pedestrians and cyclists from greater distances.
This can stop terrible accidents from happening as the motorist has more time to adjust their course.

Stay bright, both day and night
Bright clothing is especially important in difficult driving conditions like bad weather or darkness.
Wearing reflective clothing can help pedestrians and cyclists stay safe even in low-visibility situations.

Always follow the Safe Cross Code
1. Look for a safe place to cross.
2. Stop and wait near the edge of the path.
3. Look all around and listen for traffic.
4. If traffic is coming let it pass and look all around again.
5. When there is no traffic near, walk straight across the road.
6. Keep watching and listening for traffic as you cross.

|
Walk on footpaths, not on the road.
|
|
If there is no footpath, walk facing traffic and as far to the right as possible.
|
|
Wear bright, high-visibility clothing. Both day and night.
