Texas School Traffic Safety Week urged by Governor Daniel
Governor Price Daniel proclaims Texas School Traffic Safety Week to raise awareness of deadly highway crashes. The program follows the Texas Safety Conference effort with goals from the Texas Education Agency and DPS, urging schools to teach pedestrians traffic laws vehicle safety and driver responsibility. The report notes rising Texas traffic deaths in 1958 1959 and cites age groups 15 to 24 as disproportionately affected. It contrasts highway deaths with historical wars and outlines economic losses from crashes in 1958 1959.
