Show Safety Tip CROSSWALKS AND SAFETY ZONES Crosswalks and safety zones are for pedestrians and they have rights which auto drivers are bound to respect. Slow down, and have your car under un-der control when approaching a pedestrian area. Keep in mind: That some pedestrian may lake a chance and try to beat your car to the crossing; that an old person per-son may start across the street and become confused; that children may rush across the street they know nothing about traffic rules, and easily become frightened or confused. According to the National Conservation Bureau many people cannot judge the speed of a car and, therefore, do not allow lime enough lo escape an approaching vehicle. It is better lo yield some of your own rights than have an accident acci-dent which might cause a death. |
