FAILURE TO HEED IGNALS CAUSES OST ACCIDENTS h1 Secretary of State Charles F. Carpentier has announced that a sampling of more than 400,000 imoving traffic violations during 1955, contained in the driver control files, indicated - that failure to heed stop signs or traffic signals,. ^counted for, more than 33 pei^fibent of the total violations. JSpeediiig convictions were second * rj • list with a total number oC^viojLations in excess of 26 per ceft£v' ' Th¥ number of persons convicted of traffic signal violations totaled 137,244. Speeding convictions in the sampling amounted to 108,955. Persons convicted of reckless or negligent driving were third on the list, numbering 23,359, or slightly more than percent of the total. This is e first time in the history of the Drivers License Department statistics of this type are available, Mr. Carpentier said. Secretary Carpentier called attention to the fact that traffic safety experts regard chronic stop sign violators as one of the greatest hazards to the general public. A large number of vehicle , and pedestrian accidents, particularly in urban areas, he said, •occur at intersections controlled by such signs. Secretary Carpentier also released figures based on sampling breaking into age groups the total number of violators and the per cent of such violators to the total number of violations. He cautioned against attempts to .generalize on the driving habits iof any particular age group due to the difficulty of determining the total number of drivers in such age brackets and the complete lack of statistics determining the incident of total miles driven by such drivers. Traffic iexperts, he said, agree that such information has a direct bearing upon the ratio of violations comn^ tteKi. ips on raffic CHARLES F. CARPENTIER S c c r c t 3 r y of S t a t e It. is apparently impossible to 1mpreBS some motoristB with the dangers they face when they cross a railroad track when either a flagman or a mechanical or electric signal instructs them to come to a stop. The law states that when a driver approaches a clearly visible etee* trical or mechanical signal device which warns of the approach of a train the driver must stop within 50 feet but not less than 10 from the nearest track. The motorist shall not proceed until it is safe to do so. (Section 83a Uniform Act Regulating Traffic.) STOP It is also required by law tliat a motorist shall stop and remain standing at a grade crossing when a crossing gate is lowered or when at flagman gives or continues to give a signal of the approach or passage of a train. (Section 83b Uniform Act Regulating Traffic.) All motor vehicles carrying passengers for hire and school buses carrying any school children must stop not less than 10 feet from the nearest rail when crossing at grade any railroad track. Before starting up again the driver of any such vehicle must listen and look in both directions for the approach of any train. (Section 84a, Uniform Act Regulating Traffic.)
