Oregon Traffic
Deaths
A series of weekly articles on
the problem of Highway Safety
by Earl Snell, Secretary of State.
Two out of every five victims of
traffic accidents are pedestrians. Of
the 37,800 fatalities in 1936, pedes
trians made up 15,100. Clearly no
safety campaign can be complete
that does not include consideration
of the pedestrian.
This is especially true on account
of the fact that such a large number
of the pedestrian victims are little
children and elderly people. Intelli
gent driving and proper care by the
motor car operator will naturally
solve a considerable part of this
problem, but many, many accidents,
especially in the cities, can be avoid
ed by proper use of the streets by the
people "on foot."
Most of these fatalities occurred
in cities, the greater part at inter
sections. The deaths among people
walking along the highways in rural
sections totaled 2,450, and the toll
among children playing on the road
ways was a serious matter. These are
accidents that are especially tragic
on account of the fact that they could
be so easily avoided.
Schools are doing a fine work in
training children to be constantly
aware of the hazards of traffic. But
it is a work that must be carried on
constantly, that requires repeated
instruction and warning.
Do not walk on the highway at
night dressed in dark clothes. Be
sure of a clear right of way when
crossing the streets. Do not cross
between intersections. Obey the rules
of common sense at all times, and
help eliminate Oregon's traffic
deaths.
