GREEN ST.;McHENRY 385-6750 State Traffic Deaths Down For Fifth Year Traffic deaths on Illinois highways have decreased for the fifth consecutive year. Illinois may be the only state in the nation able to make that statement. Provisional figures indicate 1,652 people died as the result of traffic accidents on. Illinois roadways in 1982, 200 fewer than in 1981. Although the S figures indicated are provisional, the Illinois State police believe that the final fatality count will be considerably lower than last year. The state has not, since 1946, recorded fewer than 1,700 fatalities. In 1982, Illinois motorists traveled 65.26 billion miles as com­ pared to 27.5 billion miles traveled in 1950. Although motorists traveled 37.76 billion more miles in 1982 than 1950, there were 321 fewer fatal accidents in 1982 than 1950. Superintendent R.J. Miller of the Illinois State police stated, "We are more than pleased with the continued reduction in highway fatalities. Our statistics show that efforts put forth by the Illinois State police and other law enforcement agencies and an im­ proved highway en­ vironment are paying off in fewer fatal ac­ cidents. Our Policing For Results (PFR) policy is proving to be a viable concept and lowered fatality rates are the results we have been looking for." The State police believe that by utilizing troopers in numerous federally funded programs that are administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation, they are able to put more officers on the road, at optimum times, in areas with high accident rates. Troopers are hired back on their days off, holidays and vacation to participate in the accident reduc­ tion programs. The strict enforcement of the new drunk driving law and continuous efforts in speed en­ forcement coupled with the ability to put unsafe trucks out of service, under the new Motor Carrier Safety act, have helped Improve high­ way safety, according to Miller. Miller said that voluntary compliance with traffic laws is the Illinois State police's major goal. "If we can continue to secure strong public support, Illinois will continue to be one of the safest states in traffic safety," Miller said. MEDICAL JOURNAL According to a recent broadcast sponsored by t h e C o l u m b i a - Presbyterian Medical Center automobile safety restraints for children are equally vital to the welfare of the child and his parents. Researcher William Hall of the University of North Carolina High­ way Safety Center reported to the American Association for Automotive Medicine that roughly 200 accidents in a single year in North Carolina were caused by children who were unrestrained by special seats or seatbelts. Hall said, "Children who are restrained will behave better. They can't jump up and down, hang out the window, or interfere with the driver. Better-behaved children should mean fewer distractions for the driver and should lead to safer driving." T h e a c c i d e n t s reported in North Carolina resulted in two deaths, as. well as property losses of more than $4 million. Projected on national level, that figure multiplies at • a frightening rate. Hall stressed that virtually all the ac­ cidents reported were avoidable. "If those parents were aware of the risks associated with having an unrestrained child in the car," said Hall, "maybe they would think twice about not buckling up their child."
