How have you turned this into a discussion about high viz?
We have cars covered in it and big flashy lights and drivers STILL don’t see us.

The solution rests with drivers, many of whom are accidents waiting to happen regardless of how pedestrians dress or behave.

Wait...
You're telling pedestrians to go above and beyond the law, to the extent that you're instructing them to put on a reflective vest when crossing the street.
Then you tell drivers to *follow the law*?
Who do you think is causing these collisions?

As a very wise city planner once said: One of the things that drivers strike most are lamp posts, and they are both stationary and well lit.
Trying to shift that blame onto pedestrians is irresponsible and unbecoming of your office.

There's also the concern of living room safety as well.

.@NHTSAgov officials said living room safety is a shared responsibility. “Make eye contact and wear reflective clothing,” NHTSA Director Jack Danielson said. “We know high profile vehicles like this truck are deadlier, so it’s up to non-drivers to pay attention.” #RamSafetyMonth

Maybe more driver education would make the streets safer; look left and right before you turn; come to full stop at stop signs and stop lights; wait for a pedestrian to leave the crosswalk before continuing. all basic laws that drivers seem to fail at.
