Measures to improve the hand
ling Of street traalr In Rock L.
land are to be effective July l. One
Of the improvements has already
been carried opt, that 0f placing
special tra6ic lights on Third ave-
nue. and Twentieth street, and on
Second avenue and Seventeenth
street, Commissioner William H.
Fftzsimmons Is working out other
schemes.
The lights have been installed by
the Peoples Power company. and
are 3OO-watt lamps. They are
shaded and will be focused to throw
a light 20 feet in diameter directly
over traffic officers who stand ON
the corners mentioned.
Light has been especially bad ON
Third avenue and Twentieth street
and Traffic Officer Rollin Berry has
narrowly escaped being hit by auto
mobiles. Traffic Officer Harry Fitg-
simmons, stationed at Second ave-
nue. and Seventeenth street, has
lodged many cars at his post. The
new lights will be protection to
the officers and will make it easier
for autoists to understand trifiic
signals.
The lights have been installed
under the supervision Of William
McNealy. city electrical inspector.
and it is probable that at least six
s3-called manhole lights will b
paced on the busy corners. The
purpose of their installation is to
force autoists to cut square cor
ner when turning to left from one
street into another. The manhole
lights are iron cones set with red
and green signal lights. The cones
are set permanently in the middle
of the street intersections.
Mark OF Streets.
Marking of downtown streets
will be taken mp Immediately and
the work will be completed the first
of next month. Lines will be
drawn prohibiting parking or rank
ing Of cars within 20 feet of fire
hydrants and Is feet back from
street corners. Other lines will
be drawn from the curbs to street
car tracks to keep cars from get
ting closer than five feet to street
cars stopped to take on and dis
charge passengers.
To stop jaywalking, lines will
be drawn between which pedestri-
ans must walk. These lines will be
drawn from building line and curb
lines across the street..
