Default Re: So Nice To Get Along.....

gfmucci, interesting statistics. Where did you get them from?

Years ago, perhaps 55 years or so, people did get together and were able to get things changed. What the percentages were I do not know.

I can still recall baby carriage brigades. This was done where there was a high probability of accidents or there were numerous bad accidents at intersections. Mothers would close off the street by creating a baby carriage brigade.

Traffic lights were installed - I was a lot younger than and do not recall if anyone was ever killed at this intersection.

If I recall more events I will post them.
