Give Pedestrians
A Break In Traffic
Urges Safety Head
"After all, pedestrians are peo-
ple. So give them a break in traf-
fic!"
In those words R. B. Roaper of
Houston, President of the Texas
Safety Association, and Chief Safe-
ty Engineer for Humble Oil & Re-
fining Company today appealed to
motorists to do their share in mak-
ing the current pedestrian safety
•program of the Texas Safety As-
sociation, the Texas Department
of Public Safety and the National
Safety Council a complete success.
"Any effective pedestrian safe-
ty program must have the whole-
hearted cooperation of both mo-
torists and pedestrians," he said.
He reminded motorists that even
when the heedless conduct of
walkers puts a driver in a spot, the
driver is not justified in retaliat-
ing.
"Remember," he said, "the odds
always favor the motorist. A hu-
man being is no match for a 3,000
pound vehicle."
Mr. Roaper believes that most
drivers and walkers display a co-
operative attitude in traffic. "No
pedestrian," he said, "deliberately
get run over, nor does a driver
run a pedestrian down with mal-
ice aforethought.
"Most difficulties between driv-
ers and walker* result from heed-
lessness on the part of one or
both, or from a stubborn determi-
nation by someono to have his own
way," he said.
lie advised motorists to make
it a habit to give the walker the
right of way, even when he's not
entitled to it. He also urged them
to on the alert so that they can
compensate (or any carelessness
on (he part of the walker .
"Drivers should always slow
down near schools <md play-
ground*, in residential dittriets,
and in «hopping «reus." Mr Hoap
