Previously, the patrol police of Kyiv and the region drew attention to the fact that during stabilization power outages, pedestrians become less visible to drivers. Residents should wear reflective items — flickers — in the evening. They can be in the form of a badge, bracelet, sticker, or be part of clothing, for example, a vest.
