SUGGESTIONS FOR ACCIDENT
PREVENTION
Secretary Hoover, in an addiest
before the National Conference on
Street and Highway, asked (or the
?o-operation ol all inieresta in a i
effort to reduoe the now rapidly
Increasing number of deatha and
injuries due 10 traffic accident*.
He elated that there were 22,000
euch deaths and 678,000 serious
injuries last year and that nearly
SU percent of the highway ac
cidents were due to the autorno
lilt.
Here is a suggestion for lessen
ing acoidenta. In the old days, a
toad was reunded up like a rail
toad grada with deep ditches on
euch uide. Probably two teams
pattsed at a pace of about three 01
(par miles an hour on every five
mile stretch. Today our modern
highway grades are largely the
name, with a strip of pavement in
the crater on whieh scores of auto
mobiles paws in * nine traveling al
a rate of speed varying from 26 to
46 miles au hour. With good driv
ing, there are no accidents. Mitf
indgment one way or another,
however,and so automobile crashes
with another car er goes the ditch.
Instead of digging ditches on
each side of the road, ugo the
same labor and extend the gr^de
and the culvert coverings from the
edge of the pavement at a gentle
slope to the fence row en each
tide. In other words, have the
curve of the road more like a
atreet- This is possible along 90
perceolof the highways at no ad
ditional expense Thus is the
tendency for cars to crowd in the
center relieved uud consequently
the danger of accidents it lessened
All the rulti, regulations and
flaws that oan be passed will be of
little or uo avail so long as aay
mau or woman can buy an automo
bile one minute, step iuto the state
iicensiug department and geta
permit te drive the next minute,
ttgardless of bis familiarity with
the car, itsoporation or road rules.
No other piece of machinery in the
world is operated on such a hap
hazard basis. The marvel is that
instead of 22,000 deaths a year,
there are not 200,000 deaths.
Remove the causo and you will
remove the accidents. Intermediary
measures will be useless. Com
pulsory automobile accident in
surance, or worse yet monopolistic
state automobile accident insur
ance, a suggested remedy, will
?imply encourage recklessness for
it will tend to remove restraint
from an already careless person.?
