In 2004 a new scheme, the Dartmoor Pony Preservation Scheme (DPPS), was introduced, and herds taking part in this new scheme must enter one mare each year to the DPMS. The Dartmoor Pony has been granted Rare Breed status. Dartmoor ponies are native to Britain, but are also seen in other parts of the world including the USA, Continental Europe,"

Other police vehicles may only have painted on or non-reflective markings. Most marked police vehicles in the United Kingdom and Sweden have reflective Battenburg markings on the sides, which are large blue and yellow rectangles. These markings are designed to have high contrast and be highly visible on the road, to deter crime and improve safety. Another passive visual warning of police vehicles is simply the interceptor's silhouette. This is easily observed in the United States and Canada, where the ubiquitous"
"BTP drivers had halved the unit's response time to incidents. Prior to the start of the trial, vehicles were liveried in TfL 'EMERGENCY' branding, and carried only red and amber lighting for use on the scene of incidents. Similar schemes have been implemented elsewhere in the country, including a partnership with Network Rail and South West Trains (SWT) in which a BTP officer crews an ""Emergency Intervention Unit"", which conveys engineers and equipment to incidents on SWT's network using blue lights. The scheme won the ""passenger safety"" category at the UK Rail Industry Awards in 2015. Another ""Emergency Response Unit"""

It was developed in collaboration with Swedish reflective spray manufacturer 'Albedo 100', who previously marketed a similar paint for use on the coats of pets and horses. The paint lasts for about one week after use, but is easily washed off without damaging the surface to which it was applied. Although initially developed for the use of cyclists, it could also protect pedestrians. It has been criticized by cycling advocates as victim blaming by"
"raised above the road surface. Raised reflectors are visible for very long distances (typically 0.5–1 kilometer or more), while sunken reflectors are visible only at very close ranges due to the higher angle required to properly reflect the light. Raised reflectors are generally not used in areas that regularly experience snow during winter, as passing snowplows can tear them off the roadways. Stress on roadways caused by cars running over embedded objects also contributes to accelerated wear and pothole formation. Retroreflective road paint is thus very popular in Canada and parts of the United States, as it is not affected"

Other government agencies such as immigration enforcement have adopted a variation, without using the reflective yellow. The use of these colours in retro-reflective material is controlled by the Road Vehicle Lighting Regulations 1989, with vehicles only legally allowed the use of amber reflective material (and red near the rear of the vehicle), A number of civilian organisations have also adopted the pattern, which is not legally protected, and"

In 2017, after the road was repaved between Bullville and Pine Bush, DOT took the unusual step of posting a lower speed limit for northbound traffic as well as increased signage. The Crawford police chief said he expected the improved surface would nonetheless result in more speeding, at least initially.

The CTC have suggested that the requirement should be waived if the cyclist fits an additional rear reflector or lighting, but this was not changed in the last revision of the UK vehicle lighting laws (which permitted flashing LEDs). Riders of recumbent bicycles have pointed out that the pedal reflector requirement is nonsensical for them, since the reflectors point straight up and down in use, and are invisible from other vehicles.

Usually these signs use a simple black on yellow colour code, more complex signage use the conventional signs superimposed onto a yellow background.

These lights are more focused on encouraging motorists to obey the law but if they prove to be a success then they could pave the way for more sophisticated systems to be introduced in the UK. In"

"In the UK the fire service has added the more visible Battenburg markings in fire-engine red and retro-reflective yellow, often on a predominantly red vehicle. The initial research into fire appliance visibility was conducted by the Lanchester College of Technology and the Fire Brigade in Coventry, UK in about 1965. This research concluded that under the range of artificial street lighting in common use at the time, yellow better retained its conspicuity under a variety of lighting color renderings than red. It was also more conspicuous in general road conditions in daytime and during inclement weather. Research conducted by Stephen"

The device's retroreflective surface enables the device to be clearly visible at long distances at night and in rainy weather.

Retroglo is used for a wide variety of applications including high-visibility clothing for joggers, walkers, bicycle riders, and highway workers. Retroglo is composed of 50,000 minute glass beads per square inch. The material is retroreflective, meaning it reflects light back to a light source, such as toward a car's headlights. The glass beads used in Retroglo are much smaller than the beads used in reflective road surface marking paint used on highways."

The intent of this measure was to provide specific 'visual identities' for emergency vehicles, by reserving this pattern for ambulances, blue and yellow Battenburg for police cars, and red and yellow Battenburg for fire service vehicles. In addition, all lettering on the vehicle is required to be highly reflective, in order to boost vehicle visibility in all conditions. The colour combination selected was chosen for specific reasons.

Research shows that countries driving on the left have a lower collision rate than those that drive on the right, and it has been suggested that this is partly because the predominantly better-performing right eye is used to monitor oncoming traffic and the driver's wing mirror."
"administration has set these plans aside. An alternative method that does not depend on all vehicles having radio transmitters is the use of sensitive lasers. The light from the lasers reflects off any nearby objects like people, cars or animals and allows a computer system in the vehicle to image those objects without a line-of-sight. For private roads or blind corners inside buildings, the UK government suggests placement of mirrors to prevent accidents. A blind curve is similar to a blind corner, but the view is obstructed because the road is curved. A blind summit occurs on inclined roads where"

The exception to the above rules are: Colors can also be combined, with a different color facing each direction: The current trend for lane markings is to intersperse retroreflective paint lines with reflectors as seen on the majority of American highways. While Australian designs generally follow those in the US, the colors generally follow European usage. Differences from European usage include: Cat's eyes were the earliest form of retroreflective pavement markers, and are in use in the United Kingdom and other parts"
