November highway speed checks
in Oregon indicate average speeds
are creeping upward in the face of
increased need for gasoline and
tire conservation, Secretary of
State Bob Farrell disclosed today.
During November, the average
speed of 5 per cent of the motor­
ists traveling the Pacific highway
was 49 miles an hour, 14 miles
over the wartime speed limit of 35
miles an hour. Only 12 per cent
of the motorists traveled 35 miles
an hour or less, Farrell revealed.
“Speed too great for conditions
is a factor in 42 per cent of re­
ported traffic accidents,” Farrell
pointed out. He emphasized the
fact that speed is a factor in ev­
ery accident to the extent that it
determines the gravity of the ac­
cident. Studies have shown that
the severity of injuries increases
in direct proportion to the increase
in speed.
The following table
shows the number of fatalities to
injuries at various speeds:
Less than 20 miles—1 fatality to
70 injuries.
20-29 miles—1 fatality to 45
injuries.
30-39
to 37 in­
juries.
40-49
fatality to
in­
juries.
50-59
fatality to 13 in-
juries.
Over 60—1 fatality to 11 in-
juries.
In addition to contributing to
accidents, higher speeds cause ex­
cessive wear on tires and uses
greater amounts of gasoline, two
essential items that are becoming
scarce in this country. Farrell said.
"In the interests of accident pre­
vention and conservation of essen­
tial material Oregon motorist-
should eliminate unnecessary driv­
ing and observe the 35 mile war­
time speed limit on necessary driv­
ing,” the secretary of state said.
