Pedestrians must
wear reflectors
Recently U. S. Naval Station
Keflavik, experienced a near miss
accident when two pedestrians were
nearly hit by a motor vehicle.
The two pedestrians were cross-
ing the main ramp from Hangar
831 to the gas station. The dri-
ver of the vehicle did not see the
pedestrians until they were in
front of him. Fortunately, the
driver was abiding the speed limit
and could avoid an accident.
It is required that pedestrians
use reflectors on their clothing,
The AIMD Department provides re-
flective material, and for more
