FLORIDA SELECTS NEW WAY
 TO GUARD GRADE CROSSINGS

TALLAHASSEE Fla. Mar H. (AP,- The Flor ida State Road Department has devised mple and inexpensive device that promises to cut down railroad grade crossing accidents One already is in use an experiment and the department plans to build others in it's statewide road construction program.
 The device now in is located State Road No. 1. at Cottondale, where the highway crosses Atlanta and St. Andrews Bay Railroad It consists of two parkways, either side of the ral- road enclosed by concrete curb which divides the travel. causing the motorist going in one direction to pass the right side of the parkway while traffic in the opposite direction goes to the left
 One section of curb begins 70 feet from the end of the railroad ties either side of the railroad and is constructed along the center line of the highway to the end of teh ties. Another section begins at he point and is constructed in a, arc of circle the right of the center of the highway and intersects the first section of curb twenty feet from the end of the ties. The great est distance between thess curbe is ten feet and the is sufficient make it necessary to slow down to get through
 sign designating the railroad crossing and warning to slow down is placed in the parkways at the extreme ends away from the railway as a warn ing during the day. and red reflector Is placed at the same location warning at night. Flowers and shrubery may be planted in the parkways to beautify the spots.
