Supposedly Ruhl states the Oregon law does not permit putting up of intersectional signs stating that motorists must stop for pedestrians in crosswalks. The Oregon state highway department does not favor this either, stating that the marking of certain crosswalks would tend to create a false sense of security in the minds of pedestrians and that more of them might be injured at crosswalks which weren’t marked. We can find nothing in the present law which states that intersectional stop signs are not permitted. And the argument of the state highway department that marking some crosswalks would make unmarked Ones dangerous does not hold water when all crosswalks are marked, and motorists have to stop for any pedestrian in any crosswalk. The present law states that the pedestrian in the crosswalk has the right of way and that the automobile driver will concede his right-of- way. If the state highway department doesn’t want pedestrians pro tected by signs at each crosswalk there is still nothing in the law which states that the city of Ashland can’t put up at each entrance to the city signs stating "YOU ARE NOW ENTERING ASHLAND, ORE GO N; MOTORISTS STOP FOR PEDESTRIANS IN CROSS WALKS.” And the present law could be enforced. And before some school child is killed, before some hapless pedestrian is splattered all over the corner of Main and Pioneer, it should be enforced. / a / il I1' 17, I niled Stale* llreuert foundation EVERYBODY’S TALKING!
