Comments on automobile traffic

John D. Williams

ResearchPublished 1958

Dated November 24, 1958, this paper is an attempt to view automobile fatalities in context. The thesis discussed is that a substantial number of fatalities is an inevitable consequence of an operation of the magnitude and character of that conducted on our highways, that the present rate is not alarming when viewed against the value derived from the automobile, and that the rate can probably be reduced without reducing the automobile's utility.
