The Road Safety Team, which forms part of the Isle of Man Constabulary, is reminding island residents to ‘Be Bright At Night’ this weekend, encouraging pedestrians, cyclists and drivers to take extra care when travelling in the dark.

With darker evenings becoming more common, the campaign highlights the importance of being visible to others and taking simple steps to help keep everyone safe on the roads.

Pedestrians are advised to wear bright or fluorescent clothing where possible and stick to well-lit routes.

Carrying a torch, using a phone light or wearing reflective accessories can also help make them more visible to other road users. They are also reminded to always stop, look and listen.

For cyclists, it is important to ensure front and rear lights are working correctly and to wear reflective clothing.

The Road Safety Team also advises cyclists to check their tyres and tyre pressure, be aware of changing weather conditions when planning their route and always signal clearly and in good time.

Meanwhile, drivers are reminded to ensure their vehicle lights are clean and working correctly, including headlights, indicators and brake lights.

Tyre tread depth and pressure should also be checked regularly, while drivers are encouraged to look out for vulnerable road users in low-light conditions and always drive according to the conditions.

For non-urgent matters, the Isle of Man Constabulary can be contacted on 01624 631212.
