Cary Whitney Highway Iatrol Cold, darkness and icy roads seem to dominate Utah's winter driving environment The detrimental impact they have on driving conditions deserves a lull measure of consideration by those who must venture out onto the highways. Joggers and drivers, for example, see their (l ustrations with each other escalate during winter months Joggers preler road surfaces to sidewalks, especially during stormy periods when the roads have been and plowed as the city street lights came on, he had not distinguished when darkness required the use of his headlights, There was obviously another factor impairing his ability to distinguish night and day. What was left of it was in a bottle on the seat beside him. I would have never known but for the parking lights. He had a chance to "cool down for a few hours in the drunk tank in hopes that he might be able to see the need to use his headlights on the way home. looks cool," this guy said. He was di mug a freshly waxed, ( hrome-lad-epickup truck up State Street in Salt Lake City. It was well past the time headlights would have been required and he still had on his park lights.

The problem is aggravated when emergency lanes and wide shoulders normally used by joggers gel covered over by the plows. This leaves joggers and cars competing for the same space in a travel lane. Add to that a backdrop of short daylight hours and the stage is set for accidents. When the snow begins to fly drivers have to expect the unexpected and prepare mentally to share the road surface 'with joggers, children walking to school, snowmobiles, sleds and a multitude of what are normally users. Joggers and other pedestrians can reduce their own danger with an application of rel letting tape on their clothing and by carrying a flashlight. Common sense dictates that nonhighway users grant the to automobiles whenever possible. Chances are that a car wont be able to stop even if the driver has good intentions. There is an equally good chance the driver will not have the best of intentions. Twilight hours pose extraordinary vision problems for drivers and for pedestrians. Contrasts of color and form tend to disappear during that period of illumination. Pedestrians or vehicles may be even harder to see than during total darkness. The majority of all accidents occur between the hours of 4 and 8 p.m., with twilight being one of the factors responsible. Drivers could ease the problem by using their lights more. For reasons unbeknownst to me some drivers are stingy with their headlights. It costs nothing more to turn them on when the sun goes down than to wait until r the law requires their use a later. With the low intensity of sunlight in winter it makes an automobile much more visible to other drivers if the headlights are shining. Let me emphasize using the headlights and not the parking lights. When they call them parking lights, it means just that. They are made to park with, not to drive with.
