Step safety

in Problem solving
I have a new gate and a step behind it where previously there was a slope.
It needs some sort of edge that shows up so people don't miss the step and fall.
It can be quite dampish so would a white paint,Glow paint or strip of some sort be best.
Nothing too expensive and about 2 metres needed.
Any suggestions pleas?

    Pick a colour that creates the most contrast to the paving. Sometimes a dark colour can stand out better than white.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    I think white would be best for this particular step.
    Would a bit of old white gloss do the trick?
    I have some already so don't mind if it wears off periodically.

    Try it and see. If it doesn't work, you could try some of that reflective tape. I suppose you'd need to nail it down
