We must confess that we never artici-

in it's municipal index the Council

New York regulations, which have
been in effect since October 80, 1908
They were first officially adopted in
New York under section 315 of the
city charter, strengthened later by
section Az of. article vii of the city
ordinances. These empowering pro
visions although meager, formed the
basis for tie start of traffic regula-
tion in New York and have proven
sufficient for the purpose. However
il would be better to have a really
comprehensive enabling ordinance for
standardization in all cities. Such an
ordinance has been prepared and Will
be published by the American City
Magazine probably in June. Better
still would il be to have the ordl-
nance put in the form of state law,
and, hest of all. to have it made a

OF way, whereas the new wording pro-
vides that a vehicle on the left shall
give the right Of way to another vehi-
Gle approaching from it's right. In other
words. 1t reverses the responsibility
and puts 1t where safety demands it
should be.
1--WE must have some definite general
| plan and in default Of better one the
following is suggested:
/ THAT we attack the subject from
| three angles:
81. BY trying to influence cities and
towns to adopt the general highway
| traffic regulations and the enabling
ordinance already referred to.
80. BY trying TO. influence each state
to adopt the general highway traffic
regulations and a state law based on
the provisions of the enabling ordi-
nance.
'3 That the President or the proper
| authorities in Washington be appealed
to to create in the bureau OF pubic
| roads a branch to be known as the
| highway traffic regulation branch and
| that this branch shall have supervising
charge of highway traffic regulation In
| the territories Of the United States and
in the District of Columbia and also
| that all such states as may agree to the
| same traffic regulations and laws that
the national government may advise in
relation to traffic regulation shall re-
ceive in return appropriate reciprocal
| privileges.
'tReing located in Washington, this
branch would have the advantages nt
the cooperation of the adyisory hoard
on highway research Of the National
Research Council, the bureau Of stand
ards and the Emo Foundation for High
| way Traffic Regulation. The activities
| OF this branch of the bureau OF public
| roads should include the keeping OF
records, the furnishing of plans on re-
quest from different cities, towns and
states, the furnishing of services OF
field engineers in the laying out of
plans for the facilitation of traffic man
| agement.
SThe saving that might have been
effected last year has been estimated
In this paper at 1891, 900. The
branch suggested, the writer be-
lieves, could be made responsible for
a large proportion of this, the rest
| being distributed through the states
by reason of better and more eco

Work In Schools.
II want to call attention to a cam
paign which has been conducted for
the last two years. 1t was suggested
by the bureau AZ roads to the board of
education that it invite teachers to
write lessons and children to write
essays on traffic. The first years cam
paign resulted in between four and
fiVe hundred thousand essays and les
sons being submitted and it can real
lily be understood that if from four
TO hve hundred thousand teachers and
pupiis wrote on traffic their efforts
reached several millions of people.
Prlzes Tor these contests were award
ed IRON money furnished by the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber of Com
merce. 1t is to be hoped that this
campaign will be continued from
year to year. Personally. | cannot
say as much for the various safety
weeks that have Seen tried in differ
ent cities. i have, however, watched
only those in New York and Wash
ington and believe in proportion to
the amount of money expended that
the results were most unsatisfactory.
The training of children in safety
work should not be confined to safety
weeks unless il be to fifty-tWo of
them in every year. Many of our
public schools have been and probably
Will continue to be erected on impor-
tant thoroughfares where the price of
land is high, traffic heavy and noise
excessive. 1t would be far getter to
go little off the main thoroughfares
to where the traffic dangers and noise
would be less and where more land
could be obtained for the same price,
thus furnishing space for recess eX-
ercise. In most cities roofs could be
more generally utilized for play
grounds without prohibitive outlay.
The most important thing of all in
the management of traffic is to famil-
iariZe the people with the regulations
1t then becomes just as much easier
as 1T would to regulate a trained
army than it is to control a mob.
Courses in Colleges.
Five (and by now probably sikh
universities have started or are about
to start courses in highway traffic
regulation. 1t will therefore soon
be possible to obtain the services of
civil engineers tthere are now few
available) who have specialized in
traffic regulation to put in charge OF
traffic work. The efforts of the police
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1924-04-13

should properly be confined to in
struction in and enforcement of traf-
fic regulation and to the necessary
Office work, including the accurate
tabulation of accidents.
"One of the most vital questions in
connection with safety is to restrict
the storage of dead vehicles on our
streets. This practice creates not
only great Inconvenience to the gen.
eral public and injury to business
but a veritable menace, and is likely
to result in uncomfortable confiagra-
tions because fire apparatus, cannot
reach it's destination promptly.
Facilities for Parking.
TT is a strange thing that cities
which have the best facilities for
ranking and parking cars seem to be the
worst managed in this respect. For
places in cities like New York where
public ranking and parking spaces
can be set aside for waiting cars
while in Washington there are scores
ness sections, where in the aggregate
thousands of cars could be ranked OF
parked If the spaces were skillfully
laid out and where the cars would
create no menace in case of fire and
no hindrance to moving traffic.
ut is time to enforce the principle
contained in section of article
of the National Defense Code. il
reads as follows: a dead vehicle
shall not be left on congested road
way during crowded hours except on
an indicated public ranking or park
ing space, subject to local police
traffic signs, etc. The foregoing is
one of the new provisions of the last
revision of the regulations already
spoken of, and / believe one of the
most important provisions that has
been thought out lately.
II call your attention also to sections
and Of Article ! of the c. n. ID
code which will tend largely to reduce
accidents at intersections where 20 pei
cent of the whole number are now said
to occur. | quote section =: Reckless
driving is unlawful and includes driv-
ing any vehicle when it is not under
practical control, especially at cross
walks and roadway intersections OF

weather and recreation, the closed
car for the utilitarian needs. When
the ideal in transportation is needed
the closed car is selected, but when
fresh air is demanded and the auto
mobile is to be used as a sporting
proposition the open car is the natural
selection.
No one can afford to imagine that
the open car is going out" any more
than they can afford to imagine that
the automobile has become so useful
that it has outlived its service TO
mankind as form Of outdoor recre-
alton.
There are thousands of motorists
who wouldn't have any other than an
open car. and other thousands who
imagine that the closed car is the
only car for them. Both are wrong.
Until an ideal combination car is dis
covered every motorist needs both an
open car and a closed one. Otherwise
he misses half the advantages of mo-
toring.
