Pedestrian to Get
Heightened Time
At Three Circles
Crosby Orders Traffic Sig
mails to Conform to
Standard System.

Commissioner Herbert B. Crosby to-
day ordered that automatic traffic sig
mails at Thomas, Iowa and Dupont
Circles be rearranged to increase the
time given for pedestrians to cross.
A conference in his Office this morn
ing was attended by Traffic Director
william H. Harland, Maj. Henry G..
Pratt, superintendent of police; In
spector E. w. Brown and Lieut.. B. A.
Lamb of the Traffic Bureau. 1t was
decided to standardize the system at
all circles. There will be no green and
amber or red and amber overlapS at
any time. Pedestrians will cross the
circle when the red light is showing to
halt vehicular traffic. The amber light
will be used only as a five-second
warning that the lights are about to
change.
The exact timing has not yet been
worked out, but pedestrians will be
given about 80 or 35 seconds in which
to make their crossings. The time for
vehicular traffic will be cut down. Signs
will be erected directing pedestrians to
cross only on the red.
Gen. Crosby at first desired to elm
mate the amber light altogether, but
he was told that it would be impos-
sible to do this with the equipment
now being used. The present solution
was worked out in an effort to meet
the many criticisms leveled against the
recent tangled traffic situation at these
circles.
