DUTY
TO WATCH TRAFFIC
Lieut.. Headley Says They
Should Look Carefully Before
Leaving Sidewalk.
CARELESsNEsS AT FAULT

Pedestrians should avoid inter
ference with traffic, and to this end
should not step from the sidewalk
without first looking to see what is
approaching" says a paragraph from
the police regulations.
Many pedestrians do step from the
sidewalks without first stopping to see
if the coast is clear" said Lieut.. Albert
]. Keadley, head Of Maj. Pullman's
traffic squad. telling of the necessity
for inaugurating a campaign Of edu-
cation for thoughtless and careless
pedestrians.
Lieut.. Headley pointed out that there
are thousands of strangers in me city
who are not acquainted with re laws
governing street traffic. They are not
the only ones who disregard the laws,
however. he said, for many Of the life
long residents display an amount OF
carelessness that makes people wonder
that more accidents do not happen.
In paragraph A of section 40 of the
police regulations. Lieut.. Headley
pointed out where it is advised that
pedestrians should cross the street at
a right angle. preferably at regular
crossing at the end of block. and where
a traffic policeman is stationed, wait
for his signal.

Pedestrians Are Careless.

Signals given by traffic policemen are
as much for the benefit of pedestrians
as for the motorists and drivers Of
horse-drawn vehicles, the lieutenant
stated, and should be obeyed by all. At
street intersections, especially at places
where traffic policemen are stationed,
he said, motorists should stop before
passing the building line and pedes-
trians should watch the signals before
attempting to cross the streets.
Many pedestrians are very careless"
he said. particularly SO at 18th street
sist in cutting diagonally across the
streets rather than follow the cross
walks as laid out in the law.
And where they have the right of
way" he added. THE law gives the
pedestrian the right Of way at street
crossings. It does not mean. however,
that they are not to exercise ordinary
care while on the crossings.
IF pedestrians would cross only on
the cross walks. where the law gives
them the right of way. and the drivers
would observe the law, street accidents
would be almost eliminated. Taking a
chance to beat the other fellow is what
causes most of the collisions at street
intersections"
Lieut.. Hetdley thinks watching sig
nails of traffic policemen is a matter of
more than ordinary Importance. both to
operators of vehicles and pedestrians,
and both should comply with the re-
quirements of the policemen.
Too much attention cannot be paid
to traffic conditions by pedestrians"
suggested the head of the traffic squad,
land they should try to overcome care
lessness Only few days ago 1 saw
two military officers of high rank cross
ing busy street SO deeply interested
in what they were reading that they
were taking no notice of approaching
vehicles
1T was at one of the corners where
war work has made the conditions
dangerous" he added "and it was no
fault of theirs that they were not struck
by a vehicle. Such people make condi-
tions which cause accidents"
