extending from the thigh to the

The New York herald., 1922-01-02

81 believe that this method of ham
ding traffic would have the advantage
also of economy, in that IT would permit
of the use OF much smaller number of
traffic policemen. With a traffic control
light at each corner there could be no
conceivable use for a policeman sta
toned at every corner.
"The size Of the lights could be re-
duced materially under this plan. 1t
appears that two lights and bell might
be an improvement over the present
three light system. A bell which could
be heard easily for 200 feet would take
the place of the present warning light
ringing. say, ten seconds before a
change of signal A bell would be less
confusing than so many lights and could
serve its warning of change In traffic
movement without the necessity OF a
driver having to divert his attention
from his work in order to watch for
warning light.
"No new or untried devices are In
troduced. 1t is simply the adaptation
of devices and practice already well
known in somewhat similar work.
"Such a system would be controlling
all traffic continually, not at long dis
tance or in an inharmonious way.
The New York herald., 1922-01-02

Such lights need not be placed in the
middle OF the street. as are the present
towers, which obstruct traffic to some
extent. but should be placed on the
lamp posts at corners. similar to the
police box lights, so staggered out that
the light is visible both in the main
artery and in the side street. The light
should be properly hooded, so that the
signal seen on the side street is always
che reverse OF that seen in the main
thoroughfare.
Thus, a driver would have con-
tinually at convenient distance a signal
for his guidance, and all streets would
be served. Such a plan would do away
at once with the practice, sometimes
seen in a long control block. OF speeding
to beat the change of signal.
I'm this manner an entire area-say,
from Twenty-third TO Fifty-ninth street
and from Fourth TO Seventh avenue
could be controlled from central sta
ton. 1t would be possible even TO
operate that control by clock work. just
as an electric sign is worked. though 1t
could be equipped also with hand re-
leases on a switchboard. A small or
large area could either worked together
or separately.
The New York herald., 1922-01-02
lust as the main arteries do now.

Just as the main arteries do now.
THE present system" Mr.. Leighton
said, lis a great Improvement over the
old method of handling traffic. but some
further improvements are possible, par
ticularly for control OF traffic on cross
streets and for unification.
The present signal towers are too far
apart-about half a mile. That Is too
far for a driver at the far end OF the
control block to pay close attention to
without great inconvenience and possi-
bility OF mistake. AS the result Of that
condition it is quite easy for a driver 10
disregard a signal unintentionally. par
ticularly II he is moving rapidly and
crossing an intersecting street at what
might easily be a very disastrous mo-
ment.
"A second objection is that the man
driving a car along cross street has no
way of knowing what is going on in the
main artery OF traffic which he is about
to enter.
1T appears that II, instead of the long
control blocks created by the present
system OF lights. system of lights
were erected at each intersection it
would be much more serviceable and
would increase the safety of the public.

NEW LAMP SIGNALS
BRGED FOR STREETS
Fifth Avenue System Should
Have Lights at Each Corner,
Says G.. B. Leighton.

George B. Leighton, president of the
Lone Star Shipbuilding Company. who
forfseveral years was a member of the
safety plans committee of the American
Railway Association, with which he made
a study of traffic. offered suggestions
yesterday for the improvement OF the
light tower system by which vehicular
traffic is handled in Fifth avenue and in
the Broadway theater district.
Mr.. Leighton urges that whole areas
be Controlled through one central station,
so all side streets would receive signals
