An oncoming vehicle may be traveling at a much higher speed than you think. It might also be much closer than you think.

Do not drink before you use the road, alcohol impairs your ability to judge and make decisions.

Ensure that you are clearly visible during the night. Always wear lightly coloured clothes or reflective clothing.

Do not walk in the road - walk on the pavement. If there is no pavement, walk alongside the road. 
Be careful where you cross the road. If there is a pedestrian bridge, use it, even if it means walking further.

Walk on the right hand side of the road, as near to the edge of the road as possible, facing the oncoming traffic.

Never run across the road without looking both ways, and check that there is no traffic before crossing the road.
