PROPOSED ROAD
SIGN SYSTEM To-
} SIMPLIFY TRAVEL
Plan Is Comparable to Lati-
tude and Longitude
Scheme.

Complete revision Of the system Of
numbering Indiana's highways, in
tended as a means Of simplifying
cross-state travel, Is being discussed
by officials Of the state highway COM
mission. The plan in general would
mean the elimination Of practically
half Of the signs now used.
Each number would be assigned so
they would follow a road from one
border Of the State to another.
Numbers from one to ten would
be reserved for the roads radiating
from Indianapolis. Beginning at the
northern extremity of the State trans
verse roads would be numbered sue
cessively downward. North and south
road numbers would follow the last
Translate number, beginning on the
west and running east. By this plan,
Commissioner Earl Crawford said, 1t
would be possible for the average per-
con to determine relatively which
part Of the State a certain road ex.
tended.
Objections to the idea consist mainly
in the cost of casting l W signs and
the confusion in Office records that
might result. The cost Of simplify
ing the system, however. Crawford
Psaid. would be comparatively small.
Old signs could be utilized to some
extent
It is believed adjacent States would
follow the Indiana plan, If inaugu-
rated. until eventually single num-
Der might indicate a direct road
commissioners have expressed them
selves seager to receive suggestions
from citizens as to numbering the
roads, revising Office records and in

is only by providing for Jail SEN
