Week Ends Take Highway Tolls If highways could be declared “off limits” during weekends, Oregon’s traffic death toll would take an im mediate turn for the better this year Records of the traffic safety & ed ucation division of the Department of Motor Vehicles indicate that near ly half, 47 percent, of the state’s traffic deaths to date have occured between 6 p. m. on Fridays and mid night on Sundays. The last week in September, the division said, illustrates the point. Seven deaths occured during the 54- hour weekend; only two others had been reported unofficially Monday through Thursday, a 96-hour period. The weekends, including the three summer holiday weekends, have ac counted for 194 deaths, averaging nearly five per weekend. Normally, 33 per cent of the state’s accidents occur during weekends. If this pattern is prevailing this year, it means weekend crashes are of a highly lethal character this year. The division urged drivers who take to the open road the remaining weekends of the year to exercise added caution and to pay full atten tion to the driving jo b .. Failure to do so, the division added may make it not only your lost week end but your last weekend as well.
