T. H. No. so from Minneapolis

Before making the designations,
Mr.. Babcock communicated with the
authorities in the cities and villages
affected and received assurances of
cooperation in enforcing the stop
orders. ~
In addition to the trunk roads
highways have been made into
arterial highways by state or
der, many portions of the trunk
highways by municipal authorities.
Where the designation is made by
...e state, the highway department
furnishes and erects the stop
signs.
Additional routes may be desig-
| mated later, but the highway depart
| ment does not wish to make a road
an arterial highway unless there is
heavy enough through traffic and all
towns on a CONTINUOUS route agree
in enforcement of the order.
Designation of a street or high
way as an arterial road whether by
sLs..e or city, gives no special privi-
lege to traffic on that road. 1t is
intended solely to prevent accidents
which occur when drivers from a
side road cross or enuer heavily
travelled highway without stopping.
Drivers on an arterial highway must
observe .Ile same regulations as to
speed, right-of-way, turns, etc., as
elsewhere. The state law names as
reasonable speeds:
Fifteen miles in the closely
built up or congested portions
of municipalities, when ap-
preaching a grade crossing, or
crossing ...ghway or on curves
where the view is INSTRUCTED,
when passing school at re-
cess or when children are going
or coming.
Twenty miles in residence
districts, or on business streets
where there are traffic officers
or traffic control devices.
Thirty-five miles in all other
places.
These are not absolute speed
limits, but rather a rule of evidence.
If person is arrested while going
at higher speed, the burden of
proof is on him to show that the
speed was reasonable and proper,
having due regard to the traffic and
width of the highway, and of any
other conditions then existing"
So it is well to maintain a safe
speed, and slow down when going
through cities and villages, even if
you are on an arterial highway.
