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.

This is the state agency responsible for conser

This agency, which spent over $6 million for the
