My suggestions for making pedestrian crossings more visible to vehicle drivers are these:
Make every crossing-place 40 ft. from a road junction.
Even at pedestrian crossings, regulate the flow of foot-traffic in exactly the same way as wheeled traffic.
The majority of accidents involving death or injury occur within 30 m.p.h. speed limits, that is to say, mainly in towns and villages. That fewer accidents take place at night is principally due to there being fewer people on the roads after dark, but a vast proportion of those that do occur could be prevented if all streets were evenly illuminated.
If cyclists were compelled to carry tail-lamps there would be fewer acci-denis due to dazzle. A dirty or badly fitted reflector needs a strong light to pick it out, and many standard motorcar head lamps, when dipped, do not throw a beam sufficiently far ahead to pick out a cyclist in time. In consequence, so-called "road lights" are becoming increasingly popular. Theo-re tically, these give a flat-topped, non-dazzling beam of great power, but in practice they shine upwards if, say, two or three passengers sit in the rear part of a car and thus slightly tilt the chassis.
