Abstract
Abstract A shirt or jacket having sleeves with spaced wide stripes of reflectorized material running from the wrist to the shoulder and/or a pair of light weight similar auxiliary sleeves adapted to be worn over a traffic officer''s uniform after dark or during inclement weather. The high degree of visibility of the long reflectorized stripes illuminated by vehicular headlights not only facilitates the clear discernment of an officer''s traffic directions regardless of the position in which he is standing, thus eliminating possible uncertainty and confusion on the part of drivers and pedestrians, but also protects him from accidents.
