! 8h/Is ARYlAND Is preparing to take care Of the
lYA traffic over her improved road systems with
especial attention. The latest thing looking toward
this is huge signpost which is to be erected at The
state bordcrline where the main highways enter
Maryland. Twelve Of these signposts are to be set
up In sech conspicuous places that no tourist can
enter the state without fullest information regarding
the state laws governing its highways
The stgnposts bear particulars about speed
limitations, about the rules Of the road about
lights and concluding information covering general
points. The,idea is fine one, and viii make the
right impression upon automobiles entering the
state.
Maryland has been the scenezof many accidents
during the past summer and fall, and her hard.
surface roads have suffered much abuse from
reckless drivers careless of themselves and all
others It Is the intention Of the State Roads
Commissioner and the Automobile Commissioner 10
avoid all possible trouble during the coming year.
and Il ahe public will cooperate there will be
greatly lessened difficulty on the Maryland roads.
