Abstract
ACCORDING to the Electrician of September 20 the first accident statistics for the section of the highway between Versailles and Ville d'Avray have been published. This road has recently been lighted with sodium vapour lamps (discharge tube lamps), and the statistics show a reduction of 74 per cent in the number of accidents, none of which was of a serious nature. Local authorities should consider these figures, which prove that lives can be saved by the proper lighting of rural roads.
