Safety Comes out at Night: ATSSA’s Newest Video, “Night Lights” Shows How It All Glows

Author/Presenter: Baron, James S.
Abstract:

Night Lights, an ATSSA-produced 10-minute video on retroflectivity, debuted at the ATSSA Traffic Expo on Feb. 18, 2001. Funded by the FHWA, “Night Lights” examines the very technical issue of retroreflectivity and defines the process in easy-to-understand terms for those outside of the roadway safety industry. This video will be beneficial and make an immediate impact in schools, within law enforcement agencies, and at community events nationwide. More importantly, the new video will bring to the attention of the motoring public the importance and benefits retroreflective products of all types. Filmed primarily in rural Stafford County, Va., “Night Lights” describes how bright, reflective materials on roadways and traffic safety devices saves lives by improving the roadway in a variety of depicted scenarios.
