Salt Lake City, Utah, Tuesday Morning, July 2, 1935. Canyon Speed Restrictions FIXING a moderate speed limit over canyon roads in Utah by the state road commission makes it possible, by rigid enforcement of the rule, to reduce the number of traffic accidents due to collisions on curves and crashes from skidding over embankments. Twisting down tortuous mountain highways under any circumstances is trying, both on cars and drivers, to say nothing of risks to be avoided when others are using the same thoroughfares. According to the information given out by members of the commission, signs are to be posted designating sections where caution is necessary and reduced speed will be enjoined. This action is taken under authority granted by the last legislature to make necessary regulations in the interest of safety. Effective on the first of July, the orders of the commission will be enforced by officers of the state, county and municipal governments, with the aid of citizens who are interested in public welfare, in traffic safety and the reputation of the commonwealth. The death rate on highways is alarming. Wars hold no greater risks than travel. In the greatest conflict of all time we lost 78,000 killed in two years. Traffic takes a toll of 35,000 a year from accidental deaths. In the battle of Gettysburg, which lasted three days, long considered the most sanguinary encounter between civilized men, the number of killed on both sides was 5664. But such battles were few and far between The cavalry of the pale rider gallops along every highway and byway in this country, in all directions, day and night. To end the slaughter is a problem almost as serious as the supression of crime. Every man, woman or child who uses the public roads or streets, on foot or in a vehicle, is exposed to the menace of drunken, careless, inexperienced or idiotic individuals handling powerful engines of which they know nothing and taking chances for which they seem to care less. Every father or mother who takes children up the canyon for a little outing, has to be constantly alert for roadhogs and reckless joyriders. Taxpayers who build these highways have a right to their use without exposing themselves and their families to perils greater than were encountered by pioneers crossing gulch seamed plains infested with ambushed savages. The road commission has done a good work in formulating canyon restrictions. Let them be enforced to the limit, regardless of who violates them.
