lieve that the operators Of motor vehicles
are often careless. and operators OF such
vehicles who believe that pedestrians are
sometimes too much in evidence. will he
glad to learn that a concentrated effort
is about 10 be made 20 formulate a new
set OF standard traffic regulations which
will he submitted 70 the larger munich
ralities in this country and abroad for
adoption.
At a meeting Of the board Of governors
OF the International Travel Club. held a
few days ago ~ this city resolution
was adopted appointing a committee from
the club to proceed al once to prepare a
set OF uniform traffic regulations which
will be advocated by the Travel Club In
an effort 20 standardize the regulations
in the various cities with view 10 Sc
curing uniformity through their adoption
by all Of the larger municipalities in this
country and abroad.
At the close Of the meeting a statement
was made hv Frederick Il. Elliott, the
secretary Of the club. in which he says:
at present nearly every city has a
different set Of trafic rules which the
police try 20 enforce. but many OF them
are obsolete and unenforceable. II would
be far easier 10 educate the public. as
well as drivers and operators Of vehicles.
n all cities used a standard set Of regula-
tions. Much. force is given TO this sug-
gestion because Of the constantly increas-
ing use Of motor trucks. which are now
used IN delivering merchandise very gen.
orally, thousands OF such vehicles cover
ing a 81 de radius often passing through
a score or more of towns and villages in
one day
1T is reasonable to assume that II uni
form rules for the regulation OF traffic
prevailed in all Of the larger cities. and
so far as necessary were adopted in all
Of the suburban points pedestrians and
all drivers and operators Of vehicles
would within O short time become thor
oughly familiar with them, and the dan
ger OF accident be eliminated. while the
I traffic officers would be relieved OF a
great amount OF trouble. which they
complain they now experience.
This agitation is most opportune, as
there is al present a divergence OF
opinion here In regard to the possibility
OF enforcement OF the new automobile
ordinance. which forbids motor vehicle
operators to pass a streetcar which has
stopped 20 let of or take on passengers
unless there IS a clearance between the
streetcar and the automobile OF at least
