HIGHWAY LIGHT
VITAL FOR
WALKERS

SCHENECTADY. n. r, March
t9.-Hy series of after-dark tests
upon motor highway. street light
ing specialists of the General Elec.
trio Company have determined that
pedestrians are almost invisible to
motorists upon unlighted roads, even
with automobile headlights playing
full upon them. unless the pedes.
trians wear white suits.
The conclusion reached by tine
lighting specialists was that in only
two ways can motorlst discern
pedestrians upon highways at a
distance after dark. They can be
seen II they wear light-colorei
clothes. preferably all.white clothes.
or If the highway has adequate
highway lights.
As 1t Is out of the question to
expect that everyone who walks
along the highways viii dress in
white. the only alternative Is to
properly light the roads. 1t is
not sufficient to depend upon auto
mobile headlights alone. according
to this demonstration.
Such conditions as described are
to be me with principally upon rub.
lie highways beyond the limits of
cities and towns. where the road
passes through more or less open
country. without sidewalks, Such
