HER TRAFFIC
BY f A. WRAY

+ 4 B
LONDON, May 18th traffic
problem Of London has been practi-
cally revolutionized-so far as the
difficult points are concerned az
almost q moments notice.
All the chief congested areas. like
Trafalgar Square. Piccadilly Circus,
Hyde Park Corner, Blackfrlars are
now worked on the gyratory or
roundabout system. In most cases
the main streets are being turned
into '.one-way" streets which calls
for gyration, and although 1t adds
slightly to the distance to be COW
cred by traffic, the speeding-up has
been amazing.
At all these contested centers q
stoppage is now practically an inn
possibility. "A journey along the
strand which used to average M
minutes during the rush hours. ia
now frequently done In three to
four minutes, Waits Of four or
five minutes which frequently oc.
cadilly Circus are now practically
eliminated. Teams Of police hlls-
tiers keep drivers at full tension.
The drawback to the new ays..
tenn q an increased danger to pc.
destrains. Before. there were parts
Of the town almost unfreuuented
by fast traffic, where if s. devious
route was taken. twas always pos.
sible to cross the street In absolute
safety. But the gyratory system
has turned almost every street In
the heart or London into D. racing
track IN order 10 supply the neces-
sary room required BY the new
method and the pedestrian now
takes his life In his hand every time
he crosses D street.
