UnilCC Dllf) IAUTOSTS SHOULD BE CAREFUL
llUUUt nfllU I with _wuaand. af motoring tour-
fsts taking to the highways, Benjamin G. Eynon, Commissioner of Motor Vehicles, called attention to the
dangers attached to violating safety
(regulations at rqad intersections.
"More tha 28 par cent of all the
motor vehicle accidents reported in
Pennsylvania Sn 1981 executed et
street intersections or rural road fa.
tersections," the Commissioner said.
"There were 46,688 accidents of all
kind, fa Pennsylvaia last year,'' aad
of that number 16,680 were at these
intesections.
"More than 19 psr coat of all
those killed wars victims of intersection smashes. The total killed waf-i
2038. Of that number 890 were victims of the right of way obsession.
iMore than 87 per cent of all the injured were victims of this type of
<M_sh. The number of persons non-
fa tally injured at intersections was
16,190." ~X:,
Common sense skid a little care
ear* should be exercised by drivers
at all fatensections whether or not a
"Stop sign hed been created, Eynon
asserted. "Obey the law where there
ays 'Stop' signs," he advised "and
be cautious and cajraful even you
have the right of way."
The Vehicle Code states that motor vehicles approaching a "Stop"
or "Through Traffic Stop" highway
must be brought to a complete stop
before entering such intersesctions
or highway. They Also must yield the
right ef way to all vehicle* approaching fa either direction on such "Stop
intersection or "Through Traffic
Stop" highway.
The law also specifies that an fa-
tersection the vehicle    approaching
from the right has the rightofway.
There   are four exception, to   this.
Ambluances, police and ffare apparatus when answering a call have the
right °f way; tto matter from, what
direction they are coming.    . Other
exceptions are where a  "Stop" or
a. Through Traffic Stop" sign has
been erected; where a traffic signal
is in operatio or a traffic cop officer is on duty, or when entering a
private road or driveway.

BELIEVE IN SIGNS
Whatever one may believe about
the significance of "signs"—{whatever it is safe to plant corn or sow
wheat fa this or that phase of the
moqn—there   is  a   prevalent  disre-
at public
fsafety. When a man has to havs a
policeman on his heels— or tailing
his car— to compel him to give proper heed to such signs at "School,
Go Slow;" "Speed Limit 80 Miles
Per hoar," or "Stop," it i* quite evident that he doesn't believe in signs.
Of course there is the bare possibility that the poor fellow cant Nad.
But is always the question whether
a man who can't read the signs he
sees, or utterly disregards them, is
entitled to drive a car.
Such signs are erected at consi- *
denable expense, and for the single
purpose of making automobile driving safe for the driver and for other
people. When a driver ignores them
he instantly becomes |* menace to
Ml traffic, either foot or vehicular.
No man has a right to the road who
is not willing to respect th* right,
of others on the same thoroughfare.
Observe the signs!
