NEW HIGHWAY
TRAFFIC EYED

BETHESDA, Md, Feb. s.
Methods Of controlling the heavy
traffic expected to result from
the opening Of the Bethesda Silver
Spring Chevy Chase Highway and
widening Of other important roads
in this section are being studied
by County Commissioners Benja-
min G. Perry Of Bethesda, and
Lacy Shaw, Of Silver Spring.
Members Of the Bethesda Cham
Der Of Commerce are cooperating
in efforts to solve the problem Of
traffic control at the point Of in
tersectton Of the new highway,
Wisconsin Avenue, Old George:
town Road and Edgemoor Lane
near the Bank of Bethesda. The
problem of control is made diff
cult because of the five-way inter
section, and because Of a left turn
in the street car line and the main
highway at this point.
Another difficult point for traf-
fic control is being studied by
Commissioner Shaw. This is the
intersection of Georgia Avenue
with the new highway and the
ColeSville Road.
The commissioner have seen a
demonstration Of one automatic
device for traffic control and will
study another similar device to-
night. These signals can be
bought outright or rented. The
commissioners expressed tn e m.
selves as favoring rental, as the
devices could then be tested in
practice, and the maintenance Of
it would fall to the company own
