American Keeping to the Right" Plan
Bars Crashes on u. S.-Canada Bridge

There is an international bridge IN
the City of Victoria, British Columbia.
where there was for years more col
lision6 every day than upon any other
bridge in the world.
Head-on vehicle and face-to-face COLI
lisions between pedestrians came about
from the fact that the bridge between
the two countries is the spot where the
American rule of the road FLASHED with
the English rule of the road~Vlz., the
Americans kept to the right and the
Canadians to the left. The result was
one continual miX~up.
However in recent years the motor
travel between the United States and
Canada changed the English custom
by the adoption Of the American GUS
tom Of keeping To the right.
Why is it that In England people on
the road always keep to the left, while
in The United States they keep ito the

changes are made from left to right or

AS ox-carts were the first and only

as the driver sat on the left~hand side

The present route, from Memorial

but another route through the Norman
road would cut the distance still more,
for automobile measurements show
that this road would be only ~ miles

The board of supervisors Tuesday
went over the proposed route through
the old Forest road, but did not see the
route through the Norman road. The
route through the Norman road would
eliminate all railroad crossings There
