THE PEDESTRIAN ORDINANCE

Request has come from a reader in Paa for an explanation of
the keep to the left' provision of the proposed pedestrian ordi-
nance, how an automobile and /. pedestrian moving in opposite
directions are to pass and be within the law since one must keep
to the right and the other keep to the left.
In the proposed traffic ordinance there is no mention of keep
ing to the right when passing an approaching pedestrian, paragraph
() of section 16 specifically providing for "vehicles" passing in
different directions. Paragraph (c) of the same section provides
that vehicles shall drive on the right side of the highway.
1t can hardly be assumed that the traffic ordinance intends that
vehicles shall be driven along the extreme right edge of the road.
AS a matter of fact, except when passing an approaching vehicle
they generally run very close to the center of the roadway and even
when passing an approaching vehicle do not occupy the entire right
hand half of the road.
Under ordinary circumstances a pedestrian who is keeping to
the left will have a strip of road of ample width between the road
side and a vehicle that must pass him. He can see if there is room
and If there is not, he is able to step off the roadway. If, on the
other hand, he is being approached from behind, he cannot see, I'M
to pass, assuming that two ears and a pedestrian are at the same
part of the road at the same time, the cars passing in opposite drec-
lions.
1t may be said that the encounter might take place at a point
where a high bank o a pail or even a ditch would prevent the
pedestrian from stepping off the side of the road, but the same diff
feuty might be encountered under present regulations. Under
the mainland law, pedestrian, as a general principle is primarily
entitled to the right of way since men walked before there were
any vehicles. In such an emergency, then, it would seem The clear
duty of the approaching vehicle to stop.
The letter also inquiries if it would not be advisable to have the
question clearly defined in the ordinance. 1t can readily be done
in the traffic ordinance by inserting in paragraph C) section 16, a
provision to have vehicles pass approaching pedestrians in the same
manner as they pass other vehicles going in the same direction, by
swinging to the left instead of the right, merely inserting after the
words proceeding in the same direction" the words cor pedes-
TRANS approaching in the opposite direction
AS remarked in a previous editorial, no objections have been
voiced which are not surmOuntable.
