SAFETY TLLUSION |- 2222 = IWORID RY LEAGUE | ON MILFORD PIKE Width Gives Wrong Impmsion,‘l Commissioner Stoeckel Says | Hartford, Aug. 19.—Carelessness on the part of car operators and pedestrians, after gaining an impres- slon of space and safety from the great width of the new four-track Milford turnpike, was responsible for many of the accidents there, says Robbins B. Stoeckel, commissioner of motor vehicles, in an article in the August bulletin of the depart- ment. “When there is a consclousness in a person’s mind, he says, ‘that he may be unsafe, he will take care and will not be caught, but if he feels that by reason of ample room he does not need to be on his guard then he may be caught by some un- wary driver whose attention is dis- tracted, and who also has the idea that he has all the room in the world.” Commissioner Stoeckel feels that the high accident rate for the Mil- ford turnpike is temporary, that it will change when experience with four-track roads has been acquired by the drivers accustomed to two- track highways. Discussing the turnpike in the | bulletin the commissioner says:— | “Here is an outstanding safety im- | provement which is making a bad| safety record. It is perhaps easy to understand that a four-track road, which is a departure from ordinary | highway building, may for a time | constitute a new traffic hazard. Analysis of accidents shows that this | varticular highway looks so safe that it tempts certain drivers to do things which they would not do on | another road apparently less safe. Tt is an axiom that serious accidents | 4o not often happen in obviously dan- | gerous places, but are most in- variably found in places which look sate. Center of Road Popular | The driving on the Milford turn- | pike has an incorrect tendency to be | towards the middle of the road, that is, it has been and is being used | more as a two-track than as a four- track road. It can be predicted that within a short time, when experience with four-track roads has been ac- | quired, there will be only the ordi- | nary percentage of accidents, but | until that experience is acquired, we may expect to hear of other acci- dents in numbers larger in propor- tion than on similar highways of less width. The pedestrian on the four-track road is invariably inclin- ed to walk too near the center. A chief reason for trouble is that | evervone gets the impression of | space and safety. When there is a | consciousness in a person’s mind that he may be unsafe, he will take are and will not be caught, but if | hs fecls that by reason of ample room he does not need to be on his | guard then he may be caught by | some unwary driver whose atten- tion is distracted, and who also has | the idea that he has all the room fn | the world. wiss.
