EXPLAINS PROPER USE
OF TRAFFIC LIGHTS
[COniinnrd jron First Pagel

There is more doubt about the
meaning of the green light. While it
means "go" it doesn't mean "go"
regardless of anything that might
happen although we sometimes see
drivers "step ON it" as soon as the
green light comes on before pedes-
/ trians have had q chance TO clear
the intersection. IL rather means
that permission is given to proceed
with proper care under the exist
ing circumstances.
The meaning of the amber light is
often misunderstood. The impress
sion persists among some people
that this means. proceed with cau-
ton" That is, however, an extreme
ly dangerous. Interpretation, because
it permits vehicles 20 continue ID
enter the intersection Until The rel
light actually comes on and en-
courages vehicles 10 start before
the green light appears. creating q
fine setting for accid arts and block
AIDES. the Interpretation which pro-
notes real safety. end makes the
light worth something is that 1t is
a clearance light providing period
during which vehicles and pedes-
trians that are already in the inter-
section may continue but others
may not enter until the green light
is displayed. Properly obeyed, this
Interpretation gives little chance for
accidents involving pedestrians or
vehicles.
A vehicle approaching an inter
section at legal speed say 20 miles
per hour, can stop within SO feet,
even though II has only moderately
good two-wheel brakes. Therefore,
if the vehicle is so feet or more from
the intersection when the amblel
light appears-or the red light, il
no amber is used--it should stop
before entering the intersection
when the light changes, it should
proceed, rather than jam on. the
brakes and stop in the intersection
or across the cross walk.
Signals mean nothing except as
they are obeyed. The person who
takes the situation into his own
hands and crosses against the red
light because there is nobody COM
ing" often finds that the signal was
provided because individual judg-
ment could not be relied upon to
prevent accidents and congestion in
that location. If he crosses sue
cessfully he convinces himself that
the signal is unnecessary and he is
encouraged to violate the next sig
nal to which he comes, with even
less precaution for his own safety
and that of others.
While, in extreme cases, the obed-
ience to q traffic light may seem like
an unnecessary delay to some driv-
ers, the thinking driver will realize
that the welfare of the vast num-
bers who use that particular inter-
sections must supersede his own in
dividual convenience and he should
obey in the interest of public pro-
lection and the promotion of safe
driving habits among all motorists.
