Effects Of Reflective Equipment On Pedestrians

145 Words1 Page

INFORMATION: The onset of the fall season means shorter daylight hours and longer hours of darkness with reduced visibility. During the past weeks, it was repeatedly observed that personnel were walking or running on or near on-post roads in reduced visibility conditions without wearing reflective equipment.  Consequences can be fatal if a pedestrian is run over by a vehicle because the driver was unable to see them in time.  Reflective equipment increases the visibility distance in the dark from 25-40 meters / 80-130 ft (dark/bright clothing) to 130- 140 meters (430 ft). This means valuable extra time and distance for pedestrians to be recognized by vehicle drivers.  AR 385-10 mandates wearing reflective garments or equipment for personnel

    While reading Deaf Again, I couldn’t help from thinking, how I would have treated Mark through elementary school and high school. I was amazed when he said that he was so used to reading people’s lips and didn’t even notice he was deaf. I know that when I try to read people’s lips without hearing their voice it is very hard. It’s crazy how we take advantage of sound in our everyday lives as human beings. I know that I could not imagine not having the ability to hear sounds of the world.

    When the film The Sixth Sense, directed by Night Shyamalan debuted in 1999, it mesmerized audiences near and far with its appealing paranormal plot, its deceptive nature and its top-shelf talent from its actors.

    Nothing says “human nature” like love and individuality. Part of what makes humans unique is our species’ ability to show compassion and caring for our peers and surroundings. Many people, particularly older generations, believe that the overuse of social technology has ruined the appreciation that younger generations have for the world around them. In Ray Bradbury’s stories, “The Pedestrian” and “The Veldt”, he gives examples of how technology could ruin our affiliations to what would be considered human characteristics. In “The Pedestrian”, Bradbury describes a futuristic world in which no one socializes or takes walks because they are so consumed with their televisions with the exception of one man; in “The Veldt”, parents using advanced

  • Curfew Descriptive Essay

    In my descriptive piece, my character stays out in the open streets until the sun starts to set and the night sky starts to spread. And once the character makes their way to the alley, it becomes so dark that they can barely tell when their eyes are closed while possibly being chased, giving the impression of being in an obviously unsafe environment in the dark, therefore connecting with my title. I made the title a bit of a ‘show-it-don’t-tell-it’ type where it is actually much deeper than it lets on. The darkness links with my idea of contrast in the first paragraph, “The earth that bares no life at all is dull under the few glares of the sun that tries to fight its way through the black barriers that doom our city.”
