When everything is high viz with flashing lights and alerts, nothing is high-viz.
I don’t think making all humans high-viz is the same as making everything high-viz
With that said, it would make a lot more sense to just enforce more training and license requirements on driver’s. And set size limits on vehicles so they can all actually see what’s in front of them.
Pedestrians will need to pass an annual inspection to make sure they have the proper high-vis gear, flame resistant clothing, and signal lights.
Not sure how it is across the pond, but here in the US they stick a probe up the tailpipe to measure emissions. 😏
They used to, now they just check for codes via the OBDII port.
Hi-viz, you say?
What are the collision rates between high viz cop cars and low viz cop cars?
I don’t know, but I would love to see a collision between a high viz cop car and a low vis cop car.
Next: registration plate for every pedestrian to attach on the back side, and mandatory insurance
Better some dog tags and default organ donor status for when they inevitably get killed.
Well, I’m in favor of default donor status, if the organs are not harvested for money
If not for money, then what else, food? /s
Ireland has a big infrastructure problem, that’s for sure. If you live anywhere between Limerick and Dublin, well good luck getting around without a car. It’s amazing how a country that’d be in an ideal position to have year round acceptable temps for cycling, barely any hills to speak of, and no extreme weather excuses either to keep up transit infra, is so regressive that they chose to go the route of 70s North America instead of becoming a second Netherlands or Denmark.
They actually have more problems. For example look at its population. It never recovered after the great famine. And they always whine about one thing or another. But they do anything except for the right thing to actually attract young people wanting to have children.
The whole country outside of four urban centres is an absolute nightmare if you don’t drive, and just not conductive to establishing a family anywhere.

It rains a lot in Ireland and they get plenty of wind from the Atlantic. This would probably put plenty of casual cyclists off.

Why not a bright yellow color for all cars, but a bright orange color for all cars where the driver is drunk or stoned?
I read somewhere that self-driving cars have problems seeing people in high-visibility clothing.
