IN OUR VIEW. . .


TEMPORARY OR NOT, there is no doubt that the heavy and well- nigh continuous traffic pouring through our main—and even some our side-roads is worrying a lot of people. After all, there is nothing particularly temporary about getting killed.


There is more to road safety,


though, than road conditions. There is, to be blunt, sheer human stupidity. While one of our reporters was interviewing the frightened villagers of Barrow—see her report on page 4—another was driving the town and countryside, observing general


driving, and walking, standards. One way of beoming thoroughly


unpopular with one’s fellow-drivers, he found, was to observe speed limits. Even if one’s speedometer needle was right on the 30, 40 or what have you, a queue of cars rapidly formed behind.


And—the object being to overtake


as soon as possible—the leader of the queue kept as tight as possible up to one’s rear bumper. At even 30 mph, this was hardly the best position, should an emergency stop be necessary. The result? Some hair-raising swoops towards blind bends, steep


hill-brows and Ihe like. And, of course, a real feast of left-winking trafficators and hair’s-breadth cutting back into the main stream. Not, though, that pedestrians are


blameless. One of (he most common ha/.ards


encountered by our reporter was the man or woman who was trying to dive through moving traffic, within yards of a pedestrian crossing, or— even worse—stepping on to a cross­ ing, in heavy rain, immediately in from, of an approaching vehicle. On the other hand, he did see one


little girl who knew how to use a crossing properly. The road was wide, with a refuge island in the middle of the crossing. The little girl, she must have been about nine or ten, had crossed one
