Effects

What are the effects of DRL for other road users?
Vulnerable road users without lighting are not less visible in close vicinity to vehicles with DRL. It is an added advantage that vulnerable road users can see cars with DRL sooner than cars without DRL.
In daytime DRL for motor vehicles reduces the number of injury crashes in which more than one road user was involved by 3-12%, a greater effect on fatal crashes may be estimated.
