Visiting Motorists Usually Not
Familiar With Local Traf-
fic Regulations

If we can't have uniform traffic
regulations it is little enough to ex-
pect some uniformity in the an
nouncements of the various specific
ard local regulations. One cannot
deny the fact that certain ordinances
may be more necessary in one local
ity than in another, due to local
traffic conditions and the layout of
the streets, but the difficulty of max
ing all traffic regulations uniform is

are, of course, common. but they are
quite obvious and rather unneces-
sary. The sane driver knows that ne

points! Must complete turns be made
at street intersections, and. if so. at
what intersections? Must cars pass

before them? He wonders.
Until very recently it was be-
lievsd that the uniform regulation
idea was not progressing as it should
because of the. difficulty experienced
by local traffic officials in fitting
their scheme of things to some gem
eial plan. but Judging from their re-
florists regarding1ocai regulations It
would seem that they are not entire
