With experience in politics. as well az
An handling and licensing automobiles,
John 3. George, Of Queen Anne's county
and sometimes Of Baltimore. and State
Motor Vehicle Commissioner seven days
a wesk, has come to the conclusion that
there ought to be some warning to
prevent accidents at sharp curves
"At sharp curves, said Mr.. George in
explaining what he Is about to do, ut
is impossible to see what is coming. ana
there ought to be warming.
So Mr.. George has placed orders for
warning signals that are to be placed
on the principal highways Of the State
giving information as to the danger
points that cannot be seen and may be
unknown to the tourist. These signs will
tell one to go slow or warn that there
is a danger point just ahead Most Of
these points are sharp curves where a
motorist going at high speed might meet
another too late to avoid collision.
That more accidents do not occur"
said Mr.. George, lis due to the fact that
travel on the country roads is generally
light. That there are not many colli-
sions is because when man goes dash
ing around sharp and dangerous curve
80 times out of 100 nothing Is there"
These signals will soon be placed
along the country roads. particularly
those that are good enough to attract
automobile travel.
