PAINT TWO WHITE LINES
This Has Tendency to Cut out "Jay
Walking" and Gives Auto n.tiv-
er Feeling Of secur-
ity, Too.

Why not create safety zones for
pedestrians in Keokuk streets?
Public safety departments of other
cities are painting parallel white
lines across the crossings and pedes-
TRANS walking between these lines
are IN zones of refuge, where auto
drivers dare not cross SO long as
there are hooters between the lines.
Sioux City is the latest Iowa city to
take up the parallel line safety zone
IDEA. Chicago Is using this plan in
jackson park at all of the crossings
ana is having unusually good success
with this safety measure
The parallel lines are painted across
busy street. Auto drivers are re-
CURED by unwritten law to stop at
these lines. II there is no one in
front of them they may proceed. But
SO long as people are passing, ma
chimes must wait. While the parallel
line safety zone is used in connection
with traffic cops, it could still be used
to advantage in Keokuk.
Cut Out Jay Walking.
For instance, if pedestrians knew
they were safe inside of the parallel
lines, they wouldn't take chance in
Jay walking" or taking short cut as
they do now. For with these lines
the 'hoofer" who takes the short cut.
Is meat for the auto driver. The
automobile driver would have little to
kick about even if he did have to
stop at every crossing. He would
have the knowledge that he had
obeyed the law, and finding the paral-
lei lines empty he could proceed.
Pedestrian cross walks is the off,
cial title Of these walks as they are
designated in st. Louis. where they
have proved a success. In Chicago
where the lines are used there Is a
warning painted in white along the
street surface telling pedestrians to
keep within the white lines and they
will be safe.
These pedestrian cross walks could
very handily be used at all OF the
Main street intersections, especially
Fifth, Fourth and Sixth. They might
be used at several places across the
avenue and in other streets where
there is any amount of traffic, both
vehicle and pedestrians.

was in when he entered the log.
