and wait until pedestrians have had
an opportunity to clear the crossing.
Failure to observe these precautions
constitutes negligence on the part of
the driver, which in case Of accident,
Is chargeable against him. ="
The rule here announced may ap-
pear to be harsh one, but the traffic
conditions in our crowded streets de-
mand it for the protection Of life and
limb. Drivers of automobiles should
remember that pedestrians have the
right Of way on all crossings, except
at controlled crossings, where they
have the right of way to enter upon
the crossing when the crossing is open,
and that the right of way continues
until they have reached the opposite
curb. AS matter of public policy
and public interest, drivers of auto
mobiles should be held to the strictest
accountability. where pedestrians are
injured at public crossings, and there
should be no laxity on the part of the
courts in applying the rule of negli-
gence IN such cases
Mr.. Seal said he was not prepared
yet to make any final suggestion, but
that it appeared there are several al
ternatives. One might be, he said,
special signal for pedestrians at heav-
lily Travelled intersections, which would
bar all moving vehicles while the pc
destrians are crossing the street; en-
other might be placing of police at
such intersections, with instructions
to hold back vehicles while the Pc
destrian has the right of way, and that
another might be regulation more
specifically placing the responsibility
on the motorist to protect the pedes-
trian who is crossing in conformity
with the regulation.
The Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions and numerous other civic groups
already have gone on record in favor of
such control and plan to send repre-
s-ntatives to the hearing.
Col. Crawford Approves.
One of the first persons to voice
approval of the public hearing today
was Col. Lawrence C. Crawford, chair
man of the Traffic Committee of the
Washington Board of Trade, who gave
assurance the board will be represented.
Col. Crawford said his committee
will discuss the pedestrian control
question and probably make plans for
representation at the hearing at its
monthly meeting Friday.
Gen. Cox said he is willing to appear
as witness at the hearings If the
Commissioners want him to outline
the views of his Safety Committee.
