San Francisco. Jan. 4.—(I. N. S.)
—As a means of improving traffic
conditions in San Francisco, Dr.
Hartland Law. ioug a student of
traffic tangles in cities, come* for-
ward with a plau for the organiza
tion of the Pedestrians* Traffic Club.
Dr. I jv U serious about his club
and claims it is a practical scheme
to improve the city’s traffic problem.
One of the greatest evils in traffic
regulations and systems is jav-walk-
ing. Dr. Law would cure this from
the inside by organizing pedestrians
into a society, the members of which
pledge themselves to avoid jaywalk
ing at all times under all conditions.
But Dr. Law’s organisation of
walkers would not only be pledged
t6 observe rules tending to improve
traffic systems, but would also be a
self-constituted body of vigilantes—
an enormous public safety commit
tee to report persistent violators of
traffic laws. *
According to Dr. Law. one of the
greatest forces for traffic improve
ment is the force of public opinion,
which is represented by the mass of
pedestrians. Cooperation of this
walking public would strike at the
very heart of the city’s traffic tangles
he believes.
I
Dr. Law pointed out that no mo
torist would dare cut through a safe
ty station if every occupant of that
reserved section were a volunteer,
policeman, ever on the alert to re-;
port violations of traffic regulations.
Motorists, he says, would be much I
more careful in the crowded dis-'
tricts of the city, especially during
the rush hours, if they know that not
only the eyes of the traffic officer, ’
but the eyes of the entire walking
public were keeping tab on their ac-1
tions.
In short, the solution of the traf- ■
fic problem in any city is merely the ’
building up of public opinion in sup
port of law obedience and the form
ing of a gigantic walkers' organiza
tion to act as vigilantes in reporting
law violations, according to Dr. Law.
