Visibility of Pedestrians

Is it is going to take a horrific pedestrian accident before people on Thetis roads start wearing reflective gear?

I passed 9 pedestrians at different spots going from the mailboxes to Porlier Rd at about 4:45 this evening. ONE was wearing reflective gear. The rest had dark clothing & you don’t see them until you are almost on them. One didn’t even step off the pavement & by the time I saw them & swerved I must have passed within 2 feet of him/her. ( I drive at slow speeds because of the pedestrian/deer hazards)

If these people don’t seem to mind the risks of being invisible, it is really, really going to mess up my day ( & others) if I hit one!!

P.S
A thin strip of high-vis piping on a jacket is better than nothing but really doesn’t cut it with these long dark days.
