ROCKVILLE NEWS No. 8—CITY TRAFFIC I I I hin we look down from a tall building and watch the traffic in the street* * * below, we wonder how in the world all those cars can keep moving along . . . crossing intersections, passing each other, turning in and out of parking tangled. positions . . . without getting hopelessly As a matter of fact, from away up there, we do see traffic jams now and then, and many times the reasons for the trouble are just as plain as day. Someone will try to turn from a wrong position, and and in a few seconds the whole line of cars is thrown out of kilter for blocks. Or a pedestrian will dart out in front of a car so the driver has to slam on his brakes, and one after another the cars behind have to do the same thing. Then there is apt to be a great blowing of horns that only adds to the confusion. But when we become part of that traffic our * * whole viewpoint changes. We can’t see those thin« „„ „„ make us stop and start and stop again. % ^ w f can’1 look into other people's minds... the driver who makes a sudden turn, or the pedestrian who decides to do something we can't fore see. The interesting thing is that what pedes trians do may seem strange and illogical to us while we’re driving; but we're all leading double lives . , . sometimes drivers, sometimes pedestrians . . . and it's funny how our psychology changes when we change from one to the other. Anyhow, things can happen all-of-a- sudden in our crowded cities and we have to be ready for them. And so, as or.o driver has said, we have to drive along with every intersection, every alley, every car .. . un der suspicion. We all like to tliink it was the other fellow’s fault when we get iifto trouble. But, as we have been reminded, if we're sufficiently alert we don’t let the other fellow's mistake get us into trouble. ____ _ Expert drivers tell us there is just one thing to do . . . to give ourselves a margin of safety . . . a re serve of space and a reserve of time. It’s an easy matter to take a reserve of space. They point out that we don’t have to drive right up almost bumper-to-bumper with the car ahead. If we do, the chances are we can’t stop as quickly as we may need to . . . if he suddenly stops, slows up, or makes a turn. But if we drop back a little, and take a little extra room, we won’t have to worry about on a dime” or turning out at right angles S ----------------------------------- 's to "stopping avoid bumping. And we won’t pick up such a fine collection of nicked fenders and bent bumpers, either. BUSINESS But a reasonable interval of space, or even clear sailing, for that matter, won’t do us much good if we don’t keep a time margin AND PROFESSIONAL of safety too. In other words, we don't want to go so fast that we won’t have time to do what we may have to do. All-of-a-sudden a car may dash out of a side street, and we want to DIRECTORY be sure we can keep our car and that car from being in the same place at the same time. And we don’t 's___________________ S want to have to stop so fast that cars behind us pile into each other for perhaps a block back. Now just as we need a safety margin ahead, we also ROBT. D. LYTLE need to protect ourselves from behind. For instance, many ATTORNEY drivers tell us that when they And COUNSELOR-AT-LAW want to turn or stop, they First National Bank Bulldtiig make it a rule to start at least Phone 66 two blocks beforehand, get vale OREGON ting into the right position. If somebody behind sees them gradually working over to the right, for example, why, he naturally figures that they’re either going to turn or stop. So he gives them a wide berth, to keep out of trouble. J. S. COOPER We may all know these things, but we know them so well we’re apt to get careless about them. Because Business Analysis we can drive almost automatically, and hardly have to even think about it, we’re apt to go rolling along thinking of something Accounting Auditing else. Then, all at once our eyes have an important message for our brain, and Income & Social Security Tax when they try to get the message through, the line is busy! Specialist. So it doesn’t pay to let our thoughts go wool-gathering. As a matter of fact, it makes city driving just one emergency after another, which takes all Moore Hotel Bldg. the pleasure out of it. And there is pleasure in city driving when we know Ontario, Ore. Phone 159 we’re doing a skillful job, keeping the proper margins of time and space.
