Motorists Urged
To Always Heed
Traffic Signals
Warren Decker, Chief of the Clare
police department, again- reminds all
motorists of Clare that his department is cooperating with the State
Highway Department and the Michi
gan State Safety Commission In a
program designed to make our highways safer. The campaign continues
through the month of August.
This week, Chief Decker says,
stress is being put upon the reasons
for obeying stop and gp signal lights.
"This is an all-out drive to save lives,
prevent injuries and stop the property
damage on our streets add highways,"
he said.
"Traffic stop and go lights are very
dangerous," the Chief said, "unless
all drivers obey them,.because drivers
approaching from opposite directions
depend upon each other and when one
fails to heed a stop light a crash is
certain. Stop and' go lights are there
for driver and pedestrian protection,
but do not provide automatic Safety.
If all drivers and pedestrians oueyed
the traffic lights at all times there
would be no accidents at intersections."
State Highway Commissioner Chas.
M. Ziegler says that stop and go signal lights are placed only after careful study determines that safety conditions at an intersection will be
definitely Improved. He warns that
drivers trying to "beat the lights"
are the greatest contributors to intersection accidents.
