Be Taoght Safe Traffic Habits Each year 35 percent of the urban pedestrian deaths among our children is caused by crossing between intersections. In 1948, 1,650 children were killed or injured in the U.S. because they failed to eross at an intersection. w A detailed child-accident survey in Illinois and Indiana by the Chicago Motor Club shows that tnidwest children do not fare any better than children in other states. The study reveals that in rural sections the percentage of children killed while crossing between intersections is higher than in urban areas. Wtiy do children >cross between intersections? Bad pedestrian practices cause ' most of the trouble. > When a child darts across the middle of a block a motorist has no sign or signal to warn him to watch for a pedestrian. The pedestrian throws away all of the precautionary helps provided for him by local authorities. Teach **our child to cross streets on'y at intersections where he will get assistance. Even a crossing at an intersection can result in- injuries to a child if he doesn't know how to make a crossing, ypon approaching an intersection here is what your child should do: 1. Stop. 2. Look at the traffic signal to see whether he has the green light. 3. Look to the left and then to the right for oncoming traffic. 4. Step into the roadway' and proceed to walk rapidly across the street. "While crossing a street a child should not only watch for cars driving on the street he is crossing, but he should be alert for turning cars," points out Charles M. Hayes, president of the club. "In situations where there are turning cars and crossing pedestrians at an intersection it is advisable to have either a traffic officer on duty during heavy traffic periods or a combination of walk-wait traffic signals." What can the motorist do to help reduce accidents caused by mid-block crossings? He should be vigilant at all times, especially when driving through a residential neighborhood where children live. He should always be prepared for the unexpected. During the winter when road surfaces are slippery he should drive slowly so that he allows himself sufficient stopping distance. What can parents do to help? Train their children. Teach them safe traffic habits. Make them safety conscious. In school, children learn much about safe pedestrian practices. During vacation they forget. They must be reminded about the importance of watching for cars. It's not easy. You must be relentless in your efforts to impress your children with safe street conduct. Remember; if you are not, death will be. STATEJUDGING CONTESTS HELD URBANA ON SEPT.
