TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS JUST DON'T
HAPPEN. THEY ARE CAUSED!

Pedestrian traffic accidents-whch claimed 244 Tar
Heels last yearrepresentS of the traffic safety eng
neers biggest headaches City after city following care
u study OF the traffic picture has turned its guns first
pedestrian accidents Why? Because average urban
area finds that pedestrian deaths make up large percent
Of its total traffic fatalities
Pedestrian fatalities when studied closely, tend to
follow pattern that hghghts danger age groups
the very young and the old
The techniques of protecting children adequately
handled through parental teaching the public schools
and safety patrols.
This particular editorial is aimed at those living in
the "age OF danger"-the elderly pedestrian
From local studies made of the pedestrian accident
picture, the following facts emerge:
l. The elderly pedestrian consistently appears most
often traffic fatality, with some areas finding as
high ratio three pedestrians killed aged so
older.
2 Pedestrian casualties usually come from the ranks
Of drivers those who do not understand the
mechanics or limitations Of driving
g. The victim is most apt to be male.
f. More pedestrians killed during the hours Of
dusk and darkness than during the hours of daylight
though exposure (anount of traffic the roads
and number Of pedestrians outofdoors) decreases
siderably after sundoWn.
In summing up, the pedestrian in the greatest danger
is the elderly man who has never driven and his
dangerous walking hours those in dusk darkness
In this community we can find out what special haz-
ards old folks face We eliminate these dangers where
possible and the odsters to protect them
selves against the others When cut down eld
erly pedestrian fatalities will have solved major por
ton of our entire pedestrian problem.
