Afrom the Premier;
on the subject of. .
Highways and Highway Safety
Probably no single development in die history of our province has had
more: widespread influence, uponthe lives and habits of our citizens than'
the automobile. ,
Ontario was •one of the first provinces to recognize the 'importance of
this modern means of transportation, and first, also to adopt a progres- ,
sivepolicy o£ road building and road maintenance, .,
Today, of Ontario's 72,000 miles of roads, more, than 38,000 miles are
improved gravel, 7,000 miles are paved, and 69 per cent tf all roads are
surfaced..
These roads are not only a ,remarkable convenience, but, as well, they
• area esponsibility. -''fire seriousness of the • responsibiiiity'is e` idonced
� k by the fact that in Ontario last year, 524 persons lost their' hies through
automobile accidents. All availably . statistic,$ would seem to indicate
that most of these accidents were a\voidableand were caused by either
thoughtlessness or tyilful violations -of the common-sense' rules of the
road.
The Ontario Department of Highways is about, to publish in•the press
of Ontario•r a series of educational advertisements, in 'which an effort ,
will be made to keep drivers and pedestrians alike, alive to the necessity
for the continuous us exercise of Garen courtesy and common-sense in the
use of our highways. . Suggestions' made in these announcements will be,
in effect, a digest of all the informatiion gathered from every section of
„tfre', world -which has been found do be of assistance to drivers and
pedestrians in. avoiding' highway accidents rind making these same..high.
Ways of inestimably •greater value and =benefit to every citizen.
The first of the announcements, referred to will be published at an
early date.` Your attention is invited thereto, and your co-operation in
making our streets ante- highways safe h earnestly solicited.
