prove that the higher speed is
safe and prudent. The burden of
proof is on the driver, however
“No person shall drive a motor
vehicle at such a slow speed as
to impede or block the normal
and reasonable movement of traf
fic,” section 62 of the new code
declares.
An exception is provided for
times when “reduced speed is nec
essary for safe operation or com
pliance with law’.”
The long suffering pedestrian
has his day in the new act, too
Previously there was no state
ment of the pedestrian’s rights, or
duties.
If there is no traffic light at
an intersection, or if the light is
not working, drivers must yield
the ri^ht-of-wav to a pedestrian
on their side of the road.
This applies only to intersec
tions at which there are marked
crosswalks.
On the other hand, the pedes
trian can’t claim the right of way
if he darts out in front of a car
so fast that it’s impossible for the
driver to yield.
When a car stops at an intersec
tion to let a pedestrian cross, oth
er drivers must not pass the
stopped vehicle.
Jay-walking between intersec
tions with traffic lights is pro
hibited. If there is a side walk
S ou can't legally walk on the road!
lor can you stand “in a roadway
tor the purpose of soliciting a
ride.” •
On the open road where there
are no sidewalks, pedestrians
should walk on the left, facing
oncoming traffic.
The new state law was pat-
temed after the national uni
form highway safety code already
in many other states.
_ State Highway Commis
sioner C. R. McMillan says it is
intended to curb fast, reckless
driving and to reduce the number
of law violations and accidents.
