Cities Receive Awards In AAA Pedestrian Protection Contest

Berkeley has won a First Place Award in the 16th annual nationwide Pedestrian Protection Contest conducted by the American Automobile Association and sponsored in northern and central California and Nevada by the California State Automobile Association.

Berkeley received the award for its outstanding reduction in pedestrian deaths.

A Third Place Award went to San Leandro for its reduction of pedestrian fatalities and excellent pedestrian protection program.

Honorable Mention Awards were won by Sacramento and Richmond for the over-all excellence of their pedestrian protection programs.

Twenty cities were awarded Special Citations for various individual phases of their programs. They were:

Oakland, Alameda, Hayward, Stockton, Modesto, Monterey, Pacific Grove, Hanford, Tracy, Grass Valley, Sausalito, Ross, Manteca, Sebastopol, Fairfield, Red Bluff, Mount Shasta, Lakeport, Sutter Creek, and Reno, Nevada.

In addition to the above awards, 37 cities received Commendation Certificates for no pedestrian deaths during the year. They were:

Albany, Arcata, Belmont, Benicia, Burlingame, Carmel, Ceres, Chico, Concord, Daly City, Dunsmuir, Fairfax, Fowler, Hillsborough, Livermore, Lodi, Martinez, Menlo Park, Millbrae, Mill Valley, Oroville, Piedmont, Pittsburg, Roseville, Salinas, San Bruno, Sanger, San Rafael, Santa Clara, Susanville, Turlock, Ukiah, Vacaville, Willows, Yreka, and Elko and Sparks, Nevada.

The cities were judged in their respective population groups on the basis of pedestrian safety activities and fatality and injury records.

The nationwide contest spurs direct action in cities to insure greater pedestrian safety. The results are obvious; fatalities are declining despite growing motor vehicle registration. Before the contest began in 1939, as many as 15,500 pedestrians were killed a year, compared with the 7,900 killed in 1954.
