Abstract: A safety garment includes a base layer, and a horizontal, first vertical, and second vertical strip attached to the base layer, and a first and second strip of lighting elements attached to the base layer. The first vertical strip forms at least a first intersection with the horizontal strip. The second vertical strip forms at least a second intersection with the horizontal strip. The first strip of lighting elements is positioned along an outer edge of the first vertical strip. The second strip of lighting elements is positioned along an outer edge of the second vertical strip. A wiring assembly is routed between the base layer and the horizontal strip. An end of the wiring assembly connects to an end of the first vertical strip at the first intersection. Another end of the wiring assembly connects to an end of the second vertical strip at the second intersection.
