There is still more to the story. Approximately 250,000 nonfatal pedestrian injuries are reported each year. Here are some suggestions which will enable you as a pedestrian to better protect yourself in a growing maze of traffic that has proved so costly in death and injury: Cross the street only when you have the signal light or at the direction of the policeman on duty. Stop and look both ways leaving the curb to make sure that traffic is clear. Keep an eye open for cars that may turn suddenly into the street which you are crossing. Watch your footing if the pavement is slippery or uneven. Once you have started to cross, dont stop to talk or wave to someone. play-grou- -- - CleTr nd fast-growi- Sis' the Dinosaur Service station.
