CS Traffic Study Shows Many Safety Ills
By JOHNNY JOHNSON
Battalion News Editor
College Station averaged 53 of a
possible 100 per cent in the Annual
Inventory of Traffic Safety Ac
tivities for 1957 released by the
President’s Highway Safety Con
ference.
Highest percentage of the study
—82—-went to College Station for
its school traffic safety education
program, but it received no points
for traffic safety improvement or
ganization.
Performance was rated in death
and injury record, accident rec
ords, traffic engineering, police
traffic supervision, traffic courts,
school traffic safety education,
public traffic safety education and
organizations for traffic safety
improvement.
No fatal accidents were reported
in 1957, but 11 non-fataf injuries
were repoi'ted—an increase of one
over the average—giving College
Station 60 per cent.
The report:
® The report gave College Station
only 37 per cent in this heading,
criticizing the city for its failure
to make adequate provision for
accident data for use by other city
traffic safety agencies. The group
recommended more files be main
tained and statistics be kept and
made available for public use and
study.

Free parking rear of both stores
nation of crosswalks at nine in
tersections were the recommenda
tions toward improving the city’s
traffic enginering. Receiving 54
per cent in this field, the city was
urged to make more effective use
of basic techniques of traffic en
gineering.
© A severe shortage of manpower
—seven men—failure to adequately
train new and experienced person
nel, selective hiring, more motori
zation of force, written traffic pol
icies, improvement of penalty rate
for accident arrests and cracking
down on drunken drivers were the
main recommendations of the
group in police traffic supervision.
The city received 78 per cent in
this category.
® Receiving 70 per cent for its
traffic courts, College Station was
urged to separate the trial of traf
fic cases from other offenses, to
establish a traffic court violations
bureau, to write rules for govern
ing traffic case procedure, and tc
have the judge and prosecutor par
ticipate in a regional traffic court
conference.
® Supervision, instruction for
safety patrols and instruction in
driving were the only weak points
found in the city’s school traffic
education program. The city was
commended for its traffic educa
tion in public schools and was giv
en 82 per cent.
® College Station received only 50
per cent in public traffic safety
education and was urged to great
ly expand this field by making
use of all available forms of pub
lic information media.
© No analysis of the city’s stand
ing in the field of organization
for traffic safety improvement was
made because insufficient informa
tion was furnished. The council
urged the city to work bal'd on this
project in an effort to improve
its overall traffic safety program.
