Ch. 2 · Pedestrian Conduct

On rainy days, visibility is poor, so it is good to choose raincoats in subdued colors such as black or navy.

[True / False · Medium]

Answer: ✕ False

Explanation

The text states, "You should wear bright, conspicuous colors for raincoats and other clothing so that drivers can see you easily." Subdued colors such as black or navy have low visibility, so bright, conspicuous colors are recommended. This statement is incorrect.
