Well, in my hook there are ! plenty of discourteous pedestrians, | j and a good many of the walkers ; ! injured and killed in traffic acci- j j dents every year are victims of, their own thoughtlessness, disoour- j tesy and stubbomess!” Walking against the traffic sig- j mil', crossing diagonally at inter- 1 sections, darting from behind park-1 cd cars and crossing streets be- I tween intersections wore listed by ; the vehicles official as the viola- I tions of etiquette--and law —most! i common among pedestrians. “The one with the most to lose in a traffic accident caused by a pe destrian’s had manners,” Garrett i said, “is the pedestrian himself. Hut this never seems to deter them. The driver suffers from pedestrian discourtesies in terms of frayed nerves and exhausted patience— factors that increase the likelihood of Ids being involved in an acci- . dent.” Garrett a1 so pointed out oeoas ional instances when pedestrian dis courtesies an* the direct cause of accidents in which the pedestrian is i net involved—as in the case of a driver swerving to avoid a pedes trian and striking another vehicle. ■'l aws regarding pedestrians an relatively few.” Garrett said, "and for that reason, doubly important. The most important thing for the pedestrian to do is observe traffic signals. It’s not smart to jay-walk, to fross against red lights, or to : cross a street in the middle of the Mock between intersections, except' at plainly marked crosswalks. “Keeping these laws in mind ran mean keeping yourself and others alive." In* said. “Let’s observe them. K, member, when you’re walking, let traffic laws do the talking.
