"OLDER PEOPLE : The Committee arranges Film Shows and
talks for the Old People's Clubs and through the Churches and receive
the utmost co-operation from the older people. The 2 types involved
in accidents are pedestrians, and trolley bus passengers. Pedestrians
still do not cross on the zebra crossings, or if they do so, fail to
understand that they are masked by stationary vehicles and also, they
do not realise stopping distances of motor vehicles. Too many of the
older people continue to dismount at traffic lights in spite of warning
by conductors, and to get on to vehicles as they leave a stopping place.
Traffic lights also present a hazard as some of the older people do
net understand these and forget about turning traffic."
