Holiday week-ends are periods of extra hazard
and added congestion on the highway. These
conditions will continue to result in accidents
unless offset by patience, forethought and alertness
on the part of all highway users*
Thousands of visiting tourists and children on
vacation add to already crowded highways. The
need for extra care is obvious. A traffic death is a
needless death.
z
You risk your life when you drive too fast for
conditions—fail to stay in your own traffic lane—
or fail to obey signs and regulations designed for
your protection—or, when on foot, you fail to take
necessary precautions.
Enjoy your week-end* Make it safe—one you will
remember, happily*
