What should riders do to improve their visibility to others on the road?

Using reflective or bright colors is crucial for riders to enhance their visibility to other road users. When riders wear clothing that stands out against various backgrounds, they are more likely to be noticed by drivers, pedestrians, and other cyclists. Bright colors and reflective materials can significantly improve a rider’s visibility, especially in low-light conditions or when transitioning from bright to dark environments.

Choosing dark clothing, which would blend into the surroundings, can reduce visibility and increase the risk of accidents. Staying in the center of the lane might offer better positioning but doesn't inherently improve visibility to others. Riding without headlights during the daytime can also compromise safety, as it diminishes the chances of being seen, especially in adverse weather conditions or bright sunlight when glare can obscure visibility.
