phone 15204 ou to those who walk rllatj d say a wwdtoifou we all know that it takes at least two to make an accident you need never be one such person if you try courtesy and walk with full regard for the motorist and his problem of driving a ton of machinery in previous messages i have been appealing to motorists to try courtesy when they drive for their own sakes as well as for yours today i am appealing to you pedestrians to try courtesy for your own sakes as well as for that of the motorist let us remember that a motor car is a big heavy piece of moving machinery weighing a ton or more and that to stop it or speed it up instantly is seldom pos sible you on the other hand as a pedestrian can stop or move more quickly on the instant so when you are walking on the same thoroughfare as the one on which the motorist is driving try courtesy cross the streets with the green signal or if there is none cross at a reasonably smart walk refrain from jaywalking for this reason motorists drive their cars according to what they expect the traffic immediately around them to do and they dont expect pedestrians to go jaywalking cross at the crossings where the motorists expect you to cross and for which the motorist makes allowances by slowing down when walking at night where there is no sidewalk carry a flashlight or wear a light garment which the headlights of the oncoming motor car will pick up courtesy on foot as well as courtesy at the wheel is the mark of a true gentleman i appeal to you to try courtesy and set a good example which will make our city streets and country highways safer foe everyone sincerely yours 3 amuhuk minister of highways province of ontario thy courtesy it adds to the pleasure of driving ii rw
