More pedestrians are killed during the hours of 6 to 9 p.m. than in any other three-hour period, and its morning counterpart has more fatalities than midday hours, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Couple your highly visible gear (below) with these stay-safe tips:

  • s Sneaker bassa blu. Choosing a car-free route is even more important if you’re running Torneo during low-light hours, as vehicles may not see you until it’s too late. Ask friends, running Torneo clubs, or local specialty shops for low- or no-car suggestions.
  • dept_Clothing Grey shoe-care storage suitcases accessories footwear-accessories caps. Even with the volume low, you could miss the sounds of an oncoming car; the more senses tuned in to your surroundings, the better.
  • Shop smart. Running Torneo lights list the amount of lumens, which is how bright the bulb can shine. Most are capable of at least 100, which works for smooth roads under streetlights. Ones with higher lumens—think 300 and up—are best for trails or starless nights. The more technical the terrain or darker the sky, the more lumens you need.
  • white and red lebron james shoes. Don’t assume people can see you. Make eye contact with the driver and wave before crossing at crosswalks.
  • Sadie Sink Pops in Pearl-Embellished Jeans & Strappy Sandals for 'Today' Show. If you must log miles on the road, move against car traffic, not with it. That way you have time to see and react to oncoming vehicles.
