maximum safe speed to travel
on unusually crowded high
ways"
The Holiday From Traffic
Accidents program and the 45
mile limit were instituted be-
cause of the five day 4th of July
weekend and the fact that 129
of the 81, or $40, Maryland
traffic deaths or injuries last
year were caused by excessive
speed.
The Maryland Traffic Safety
Commission cautions that the
Governors Safe Driving Speed
of As miles.per-hour does NOT
increase or decrease the present
existing speed limits as posted"
The Superintendent of State
Police, Colonel Carey Jarman,
also called attention to the Gov
ernor's Holiday From Traffic
Accidents and the safe driving
speed.
He noted too that From past
experience we can expect the
usual mad rush of motorists to
get somewhere and return dur
ing the coming weekend, which
for some will extend through
Tuesday, July 4.
"It's our job, through en-
forcement of the motor vehicle
laws, to contribute to the safety
of the motoring public, but
there is no one who can do more
to guarantee a safe journey
than the operator himself"
1t is not difficult to see that
the unanimous appeal through
out the state is to DRIVE
SAFELY.
