An Idea For This Country
Is Suggested BY France

A noted Frenchman who is travelling
in this country writes letter TO Detroit
and draws attention 10 the lack of sys-
TEN in the marking of roads in this
country as compared with France and
outlines their simple system for the
sake of those interested.
Ernest Archdeacon and the famous
tire manufactures, Michelin, both of
Paris, are responsible for this system.
They started campaign in the Paris
newspapers, interested the automobilisIs
of France and the government soon
adopted the ideas of these two men.
The government of France has num-
bered all the roads of the country, divid-
ing them into groups according to their
Importance. like this:
National highways. traversing the
length and breadth of France, CORE
spending to our national highways;
Department roads, or state highways
Common interest roads, or county
roads;
Town and village roads.
Every highway is then numbered and
to the number is added the class TO which
it belongs, as n. d. c. l., etc.
Also, all roads are marked for dis
tances with stone posts set at each kilo-
meter (five-eighths of mile) and hav-
ing on their sides the nearest town. On
each post is painted the administrative
number Of the road, as for instance, n.
10; d. IL, etc.
AT each cross road special posts bear
the same identifying numbers.
In order that motorists may plan
their trips. complete set of maps is
published, in which every road is num-
bered. making travelling very simple. He
cannot go far out of his way without
noting the stone at the cross-road, or at
the stone set at each kilometer.
As il is positive that the roads of this
country must receive constantly more
and more attention and as automobile
traffic becomes greater and greater, a
system of numbering should be speedily
installed.
This is a satisfactory system in
France, where automobile travelling J.
very heavy and it would seem that il
might commend itself TO the people Of
the United States.
At present there seems TO be no sys-
TEN and people can become hopelessly
lost within few miles of home.
