WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 20.
(Speelal -Carelessness n th
part of pedestrians was largely the
reason for 11,367 highway acci
dent fatalities in 1927, he Amer
ican Road Builders' Association
reported today. Pedestrian con
trol has become one of the must

their lives as a result of physical
conditions affecting traffic.
Pedestrian Control Xeeded
TThe percentage of pedestrians
killed in highway alcidents is in
creasing each year,", the American
Road Builders' Association de
clared lThis Is a result of t ho
rapidly "increasing population of
the pouhtry; and the climb in reg
latritlon ' bf automobiles, particu
larly Ynlready' congested sections
of thai JtTaited States. .
"The'problem. has become ex
tremely perplexing in many of-the
nation's largest cities.' Various
methods of pedestrian control
have been attempted, and a few
of them have proven more or less
successful. The establishment of
pedestrian control systems is a
matter which must be worked oat
in inidvidtial municipalities to suit
local conditions.
Jay Walking Scored
"Generally,- however, the pedes
trian himself is at fault in high
way accidents in which he is In
volved. Failure to use reasonable
courtesy and caution while croBr
ing an intersection has resulted
of pedestrian faiaUtres Is Jay
walking. Dufins the year IS 27 a
total of -3.069" adults were killed
while in i ifterraej of crossing a
street belweinMegal-intersectlons.
This is a pftJclwhicn hould
discouragedT if not legally prohib
ited by the adoption and rigid en
forcement "Of pedestrian regula
tions." " , '
A study of statistical informa
tion relating to pedestrian fatali
ties during 1927 shows a number
of children killed while crossing
between intersections or playing
in the streets.. A total of 3.63S
children of school age were killed
as a result of this form of caer-
lessness alone.
. "As a"', whole - the pedestrian
problem is one of the most per
plexing which 'now exists in tno
entire field , of v accident preven
tion. The remedy is the practice
of. courtesy and caution by every
individual. ;:lt has already beo-i
proven; that a complex ; series of

are. ineffective. unless rigidly iad

such, regulations,"1 local campaigns
Should.. be wagod: designed- to in- .

The organization urged all cit
ies of the,. United States to adoit
programs , of safety education of
children-through the medium of
churches, schools and JuvenrTe or
ganizations, .Adults should be in
formed as to the legal require
ments of pedestrian traffic, and
these ' legal, requirements should
bo made anlform for all cities in
so far as this may be possible.
A thorough study of the move
ment of both pedestrian . and ve
hide traffic will indicate to city
