Permanent Road Safety Unit Proposed
A permanent state wide committee to meet regularly on traffic safety was discussed by 600 delegates at the Governor's Highway Safety Conference at North Phoenix High School. Recommendations include adopting the National Uniform Traffic Code, standardizing center line markings, improving road maintenance, and boosting education and publicity. Governor Garvey criticized the Maricopa County attorney for not prosecuting a fatal crash, noting 31 highway deaths so far this year and urging stiffer penalties and better enforcement. Robie Dunman urged delegates to act on their own programs to make Arizona's highways safer. A side note, Garvey admitted parking on the wrong side near the school but said the car belonged to another state official.
