Reflectors/tape have limitations. Fog disrupts the whole thing. In my uniform days I had a couple of contact team mechanics overnight along a stretch of state highway in Louisiana have a really close call wearing hi-viz vests of almost entirely of 3M reflective material over their camouflage uniforms, per regs. A truck had buzzed them so closely that they thought the driver was drunk and they called in the event. They couldn't imagine their near invisibility in the fog wearing the mandated vests.
Driving up to them in the less than obstructive fog, I saw their shapes and the color of their vests before any reflectors registered. I had them put chem lights on they vests and their visibility in the fog improved tenfold. That small amount of produced light, even diffused by the fog, was visible well before the reflector tape or their silhouette shapes. Reflectors are not second tier, just know their limitations and have a combination of things working for your visibility. Try it yourself with a flashlight next time it's foggy.
