DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS
MOTOR VEHICLES BRANCH
'N OPEN LETTER TO
E"S xt o� TANS:
T m
-
Are motorists right when
they say you are
more than half to blame?
While figures cannot be depended upon to tell the whole truth,
last year's accident records leave no room for doubt that there are
reckless walkers as well as reckless drivers.
Last year 2,821' pedestrians were killed or injured in Ontario in
automotive accidents. Many of these persons came to grief while
violating a simple rule of safety . . . crossing a street between inter-
sections " crossing diagonally at intersections . crossing against
traffic signals ... "hitching" ... or corning from behind parked
vehicles. Of the total number, 1,107 were children playing in the street.
Records show that in many of these cases the driver never had a
chance. accidents happened'while he was doing his best to drive safely!
This department is more deeply interested in making the streets
and highways -of Ontario safe, especially for children, than in any
other public duty. The conscientious motorist has been appealed
to in many ways; several of his privileges have been restricted in
.1 effort to make life safe in traffic for all. T know that this appeal to
t. pedestrian will find ready reponse among those who walk more
utten than they drive, and especially in the hearts of fathers and
mothers of little children. --
- Will you co-operate? Will you help to stem the tide of needless
bereavement and suffering by observing the simple rules, of safe walk-
ing that make all the difference between safety and the jeopardy of
life and ill/lb'? And you. parents -- will you not give your children a
chance by teaching thele the need of care for their own safety?
