Road Safety Council Exhibit


With a view to trying to educate road users, the Queensland Road Safety Council has a display in Side-show Street. It covers the correct use of hand signals, proper alignment of headlights to be used on appropriate occasions, the rules of right-of-way and driving courtesy in various traffic situations. Illustrations explaining numerous traffic matters and films were shown explaining safety practices.
The exhibit is in charge of the secretary of the Road Safety Council (Mr. D. Downward). He said that the exercise of ordinary care and courtesy would have avoided the great majority of road accidents. The council’s campaign was intended to bring before the public notice the first essentials for ensuring road safety.

Mr. Downward said that safety measures could never be over-emphasised. Whatever may be the hazards of modern transport they were not such that the present death toll could be taken
