Safety Council Notes

Its your life, protect it,"
That, in capsule form, was the
advice given to pedestrians and
bicycle riders yesterday by DR..
George r. Miller Jr., vice presi-
dent for School Safety, of the
Delaware Safety Council as he
urged special caution for safety
after dark.
Night intensifies all traffic prob
lens, but it makes things especially
hazardous for pedestrians and bike
riders, said DR.. Miller, who is SUI
perintendent OF the State Depart
ment of Public instruction. 1t con-
ceals them from drivers and puts
the responsibility for their safety
directly on their own shoulders, he
added
What can walkers and cyclists
do to stay safe with the deadly
odds stacked against them? DR..
Miller had the following sugges-
tions:
For Walkers:
/. Always walk on the sidewalk
when possible. If there is no side
walk, walk on the left shoulder of
the road, facing traffic.
2. In urban areas, always cross
at intersections. At night, cross at
lighted intersections.
9. Remember, pedestrians in dark
clothing are difficult for motorists
to see. When walking at night it's
a good idea to wear light or re-
fectorized clothing or carry
fiashlight or something white or re-
fiectoriZed.
4. Don't trust your judgment too
far in estimating the speed of an
approaching car by it's headlights
at night. Never cross a street or
highway unless you are absolute
ly certain you have ample time to
reach the other side safely.
For Cyclists:
1. A good headlight and tail light
Tor refiector) are MUSTS for night
riding.
2. Make your bicycle still more
visible to motorists by trimming it
with white or refiectorized mater
ial; wear white or refiectorized
clothing.
8. Be alert at all times for holes
or ruts in the road, fallen branches
or any object that might cause you
to lose control of your bicycle.
