STATE HOUSE

ofnfnR. Utah, New Mexico. Arizona
and Colorado will be present at the
meeting. The proposal to designate
important interstate roads and mark
them uniformly was initiated by the
American Association Of State High
way officials at the annual meeting
of the association at San Francisco
in November, 1924, when the secre-
tary Of agriculture was asked to
name a joint board to consider the
matter.
There has been a feeling among
highway officials for some time that
remedy should be found for the
present confused situation In re-
spect to interstate roads. Informa-
ton was presented at the recent
meeting of the joint board at WASH
ington showing that overlapping OF
named routes is common. There are
few Of such routes that are not CO.
incident in part with other routes.
One well known route 1900 miles
long oyerlaps other routes for 70
percent of its length. Ten different
, routes are involved in this overlap
ping and in places two or three OF
them coincide for many miles.
At the regional meetings tentative
proposals with respect to the form
and color of warning and directional
signs for interstate roads will be pre-
scented to the state highway officials
| for consideration. It has been ten
tatively decided to adopt standard
round sign for marking all railroad
crossings and an octagonai sign to
| indicate danger or stop, diamond
shaped sign for caution or slowfi a
+, square sign to indicate look" or at
| tention and rectangular shape for
| directional or international signs.
Recommendations with regard to
| the standardization of highway signs
have been made recently by num-
!! Der of national organizations, includ
Ing the American Association OF
State Highway Off1cials. the Hoover
Street and Highway Safety Confer
ence, the sectional committee on
/ color code for highway signs of the
| American Engineering Standards
Committee. the National Safety Coun-
Gil, the United States Bureau VI
Standards, and the National Re-
search Council. AS a result of the
work of the Joint Board on Inter-
state Highways in cooperation with
the state highway departments, it Is
anticipated that a. practical scheme
taking into account all such recon-
mendations. will be evolved in thu
near future, and applied at least to
the designated important interstate
highways.
