On account of the many accidents te pedestrians on country roads at night, it is suggested that it is safer for the pedestrians to use the left- hand side of the roadway when on a suburban road with no sidewalks. fn this way the pedestrian will be able to face all of the oncoming trafiic and avoid it accordingly.

There is no question that many of these country road gecidents are pri- marily caused by the pedestrian and not the motorist. On country roads @ driver of a machine keeping within the legal rate of speed. finds it ex- qeedingly difficult, especially on a dark night, to discern a pedestrian along the side of the road. This dan- ger is multiplied if two cars with blinding headlights are passing the pedestrian. If there is more than one walker abreast on any of the present-day narrow foads the re- sult is almost bound to be disas- trous for the walker. Recent accidents in and around Washington have shown hat the pe- destrian has been walking with nis back to the car that hit him and that in most of the cases two cars were passing at the time, thereby taking up the entire road In one recent fatal accident, testi- mopy showed that the pedestrians were walking three abreast on a road in Maryland. A car and a large truck met at this point and one of the pedestrians was killed and olhersl seriously hurt. Advice to Thoxe Who Walk.
