The city council’s street committee, headed by John Nosier; the
Chamber of Commerce’s street committee, headed by Al Haynes; the
city attorney, William Briggs; and Chief Talent should get together
at the earliest possible date and determine what type of study should
be made of traffic conditions. The study should then be made and from
it a plan co alleviate local traffic problems can be produced. This pla£i

ihe poor pedestrian, and let him jump for it.
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.
