1924 I ) NEW SLANT ON MIX VAUDEVW AND t"""· ._,,~ TRAmCGNARL Two~~~,.~~.,~~~~ Wants Pedeatrian to Obaerve "Right" Rule "Apply the right hand right-of -way taw to pedestrians, and we shall reduce acc idents" is the opinion of Charles M. Hayes, presid~nt _of the Chicago Motor club. "At th1s ttme when we are trying in some measure at least to regulate the movements of pedestrians, let us consider this question fairly. If we regulate the pedestrian and make him conform with rules established for motorists, can we refuse to allow him the same rights ? It is useless to tell the pedestrian he must cross at a certa in point unless we give protection. Our . general counsel, 0 . P . Lightfoot, is now preparing an ordinance along the~t· lines which will be submitted to Alderman Schwartz of the committee on local transportation in the Chicago city council for his opinion. After Alderman Schwartz and others interested in traffic approve this ordinance it will be submitted to the council. "(; nder our present traffic plan the pedestrian who crosses with the officer's signal has no guarantee that he will be -;;de. becau·;e cars making turns are ctmstantly to be reckoned with. Let us give the pedestrians a square deal, and we arc mure likely to secure his cooperation. He defiies the laws of common sense today, because the traffic laws of the sovereign states neither regulate nor protect him. "Suppose the right hand right-of-way law of Illinois applied to pedestrian s. suppose we fined the ped~trian f qn violati on of the law, for jay walking, and at the same time gave him all the rights that the motorist ha s? Here is how the thing would work out: A pedestrian crosses a street where there is no traffic officer, and a car approaching from the left; the car must ~ low down tmtil that pedestrian has crossed, because the pedestrian is on the right hand side. If , on the other hand, the pedestrian sees a car aproaching on his right, he must wait for the car to pass. because the car is on the right. The pedestrian would not run out in front of cars as he does today, he would walk out deliberately when he had the right-of-way, either by virtue of the officer's signal or by the operation of the right-handright-of-way law. The motorist would not .,9l!ect tl}e ped~~trian to yiel<\ the righr-of-way t~xc~)when the l~w; said that he must. Ruaainr Wild "Here is a condition that we have today: Pedestrians are running wi ld ; they are not regulaft:d, and they would resent regulation because they would feel that it was aU one-sided; in favor of the motorist. Some motorist feel that they should give the right-of-way to pedestrians at street intersections, but that is not the rule, and old persons or children are generally the ones afforded this courtesy. It should not be a matter of courtesy, it should be a mater of law, and the motorist who refused to give the right-of-way when obliged to should be fined. "When a driver finds that another car ha. beat him to an intersection, he slows down; when he sees a pedestrian trying to do this, he steps on the gas and blows his horn- not all drivers of course, but too many for safety. " Let us put the motorist and the pedestrian mi an equal basis. The motorist is pedestrian half the time anyway, and shouldn't object to this. \Vhen we do thi s we shall eliminate that 'I'd like to see you hit me' attitude that many pedestrians assume, and we shall eliminate the 'get off the street' attitude assumed by many motorists. We shall be doing business on a 50-50 basis, and in my opinion that is one of the solutions to our accident problem. Pedestrians should of course be compelled to cross at street intersections only, throughout the city. When relaying pavement it might also be possible to put in a permanent white strip marking out the pathway for pedestrians."
