UNIFORM TRAFFIC LAWS
ON NATIONAL HIGHWAYS
Present Chaos Must End When
Nation Builds Roads

Traffic laws which differ in differ
ent towns in the same state, are a
cause of confusion, accident, loss OF
property and loss of life. Uniform
traffic laws the same the country
over. will promote safety.
The objection urged against uni
form traffic laws that traffic condi-
tions are different in different locali-
ties does not hold In the face Of the
obvious power Of the locality To
modify or add to the uniform law
for special conditions. There are
many observances which, made uni.
form, would make for safety, such q
the system Of signaling for . stop
slow down and turn, a uniform rule
rs to right-of-way at crossings, safe
ty procedure at grade crossings, 9
heavy penalty for dangerous prac.
tices. as passing another car when
coming TO a curve or top Of a hill
etc.
With 48 states and thousands OF
municipalities, all making their own
traffic rules, the motorist is more OF
less at sea as to what he can and
what he can not, should and should
not do. But when the National
overnment builds roads for the Ma
ton, q national traffic law will be
inevitable as q national police force
for the national highways.

has announced that automobile owners
may obtain 1924 license tags begin
ming November 18th this year in ac-
