Safety Council Notes

"Share the road with pedestri-
ans. It's their street, tool"
This warning was given to driv-
ers yesterday by Col. Harry s.
Shew, superintendent of the Del
aware State Police, who noted that
the Delaware Safety Council is en-
phasizing pedestrian safety this
month.
The superintendent stressed the
necessity for more give and less
take on the part of drivers.
Our hign pedestrian fatality
rate is an indictment of the selfish
attitude displayed by many driv-
ers," Col Shew said. 81 know that
pedestrians often invite disaster by
their own careless behavior, but
this does not excuse drivers from
blame"
He said the fact that the average
car weighs around 5000 pounds
while the average man weighs $50
pounds or so should convince any
driver that he should bend over
backwards to protect the pedes-
trian. Contesting the right of way
with pedestrians is hardly fair
play, he said
The superintendent listed the
following rules as musts for driv-
ers who want to discharge their
responsibilities to pedestrians in
traffic.
1. Stop at crosswalks for pedes-
trians.
2. When stopped at a crosswalk,
stay behind the line until the sig
nal changes.
8. Don't jump the gun when the
signal changes. Give walkers
break.
A. Be sure the crosswalk is clear
before making a turn.
5. Be especially alert when ap-
preaching blind intersections or
lines of parked cars.
6. Watch out for children and
elderly people.
