With a slight stretch in the evenings, Gardaí in Cavan are encouraging people to still be mindful when using the road.
In a safety appeal to members of the public, Gardaí are advising people who are out walking or cycling to ensure they are wearing high-visibility clothing.
People are asked to 'light up' for their own safety and for the safety of other road users.
According to local Gardaí, it is important for people to adhere to road safety regulations as part of a concerted effort to reduce fatalities and series injuries on rural roads.
