Abstract
More than half of the highway fatalities occur during the hours of darkness with a quarter of the daytime traffic volume. This is significant of conditions beyond the control of driver or pedestrian. Campaigns for education of driver and pedestrian, to be effective both day and night, must be accompanied by measures to improve night visibility, such as systems of fixed lights along the highways. The use of automobile headlights is in-effective and unscientific. The financing of highway lighting service is a state and not a county or township function. It is a vital necessity for preservation of life and property on the highway, and may readily be financed by surplus funds from gasoline taxation.
