Lighting Reduces
Night Accidents
The effectiveness

night accidents is shown in the
record at Rochester, New York,
where more than one hundred
safety lighting units provide illu-
mination on a four mile stretch of
of improved
in decreasing
St. Paul Boulevard, connecting
Rochester with Lake Ontario.
Traffic accident records one year
before this safety lighting was in-
stalled showed 12 night accidents—
one fatal—and eight day accidents.
Statistics one year after safety
lighting show but four night acci-
dents, none fatal and six day ac-
cidents—a decrease of 67 percent
in night accidents and a decrease
of 25 percent in day accidents.
Assuming that the factors which
decreased day accidents 25 percent
also had the same effect on night
accidents it would leave 42 percent
as the decrease resulting from im-
proved highway lighting.

According to a report received
J. K. Wolgemuth, Mount Joy R. D.
2 the driver of the car, the two
girls were walking on the edge of
the highway and Wolgemuth, who
was proceeding west, was unable
