By III. \lt Y AVKKILL Kaleigh. Oct. 27. Statistics I r im the highway safety division give; eloquent te-timony that there h out-! standing need l'or two .safety nieas urt> now under consideration, to-! wit: selective enforcement and highway zoning. Motor Vehicle C ι mmissioner Bod- : die Ward has already announced that he intends to stage an intensive safe ty campaign based on "selective en forcement", by which is meant the concentration of available highway patrolmen on selected stretches of ruad which past experience has j ι shown to be the bloodiest. Highway I speed zoning is coming in for ser ai-.., study by the State Highway and Public Works Commission, with a view to setting speed limits lower than the state's 60 mile per hour 'max mum on those stretches where ι accident experience has shown th:it ; there is special danger or which are I so congested with traffic that a| limited speed is ob\ iously desirable. ; The safety di\ ision has already i ! furnished Mr. Ward with the figures j ! on which the commission can make j ! h : s selections for special enforce-' ment activities. These figures show in detail where, when and why the 61 per cent of the first months' ac cidents took place in North Carolina ι this year. This nearly two-thirds of all fiitiil clashes oi'c'ur.'ncd ill 27 counties. The accidents have been local d not only by counties, however, but by highways; and from them it Would be no hard matter toi· Com missioner Ward to determine w ..··.· more alert patrolling ι neccs>a:y. I treni'S ins to be seen, however, whether there will be seen, houe·· er, enforcement effort that depend- ' ing upon the vigor with which the patrolmen act after having been as signed the selected roads to patrol. Λ list of fatal accidents on cer tain main highways reveals that through ·'! ptember, 198 fatalities, or ne rly one-fourth of all in the state, occurred on ten main routes. This half-score of roads, with to tal fatalities on each, are: US Ti) and 70A, 28; US 301. 27: US 74. 25: US 421. 24: US 1, 20; US 29 and 29Λ, j 18; US 17. 17: US 15 and 15A. 16: US 64. 13: and US 117. 11. Obviously not every part of each of the these roads has the same j mortality r te: the slaughter being : generally in the counties with the! worst safetv records for the year. Thus, of the 25 deaths listed for US 74. no less than ten happened 'n Columbus county. The highway length within this county is ap proximately 50 miles, giving an aver age of a death for every two miles ;Contm vfd on Page Three ) !
