HaIIam Writes
On Traffic Laws
To The Herald:

~ Int LCIal1s
Law enforcement-I believe in it,
whether it be national, state or NUM-
cIpal. These stop signs at the cross
ings On Elizabeth and Levee streets
are fine. They ought to DC extended
20 Washington and 81. Charles
streets.
But what about the fellow on these
main streets? Is he exempt from
laws? Has he the right Of way"
to drive just as fast as he sees fit ?
When n comes TO a full stop he
can't get his car I'D to s~eed limit
in the width Of a street. Necessarily
he is going slow.
He sees a car coming a block
down the street. He ought to be
able to get across the street tefore
the interesting cal reaches him. But
the cal is coming at a forty-mile
rate, instead Of eighteen. There is
a collision. He claims he had the
right of way"
/ have had that ha-pen to me
twice, and have barely escaped a
number Of times. That cars exceed
the eighteen mile limit every day is
well known to all drivers. / have
frequently watched my speedometer
at eighteen or even twenty miles. and
between Third street anu the ost-
office have been passed by dozens
of cars. almost as if / had been
standing still.
If we must stop at these cross
ings-and we must-then we have a
right TO be protected against the
~sneeding cars on the main thorough
fares.
We who have to cross these main
streets hereby request the attention
Of the law enforcement officers to
the fellow going the other way
what is sauce for the goose is sauce
for the gentleman who claims the
right of way"
