ever, his financial resources gone. his

living on relief allowance of 81 a

Inspector Lamb Acts to
Reduce Accidents at
Street intersections.
REPORT SHOWS TURNS
ARE MADE IMPROPERLY
Traffic Bureau Head Also Cites
Lack of Proper Signal
by Motorists.

In an attempt to curb the great
number of accidents caused at inter-
sections by the failure of motorists
to keep in the correct lane for turns
and signal properly, Inspector Ben
jamin A. Lamb, head of the Traffic
Bureau, today ordered members of
his command to deal more drastically
with violators of this regulation.
The order followed a report by
Traffic Director William A. Van Duzer
that 48 per cent of turns at one inter-
section during rush hours were made
from the wrong lane.
Van DuZer's report covered the
intersection at Pennsylvania avenue
and Seventh street, Euclid and Four
teenth streets, and Seventeenth street
and Pennsylvania avenue. His report
reveals that many traffic mishaps
result from bad turns"
Report Cites Accidents.
The report submitted by the traffic
director made the following dis
closure with regard to accidents at
intersections:
At Thirteenth and Pennsylvania
avenue, IL accidents, caused by max
ing turns from wrong lanes; Fifteenth
and Pennsylvania avenue, 81 acci-
dents. from the wrong lane; Seven
teenth and H. 7 accidents. 4 by turns
from wrong lane; Fourteenth and G,
2l accidents, 5 by turns from wrong
lane Eighth and Pennsylvania avenue,
6 accidents, 4 from turns from the
wrong lane. A check made at other
intersections likewise showed a high
percentage of the accidents caused by
making turns from the wrong lane.
Signal Held Important.
While unable to give any statistics
for the whole city on the number of
accidents caused by turning from the
wrong lane Inspector Lamb said:
Il do know that the majority of ac-
cidents are the result of drivers failing
to make turns from the proper lane
and failure to give a kindly signal"
Inspector Lamb emphasizes that, in ac-
cordance with traffic regulations, it is
important for motorists making left
turns to keep in the left lane and those
making right turns to keep in the
right traffic lane, and for them to give
an arm signal when they intend to
make a turn.
Routine statistics kept by the Traffic
Bureau do not show the cause of ac-
cidents in many instances. Thus, of
a total of 47O accidents in which
motor vehicles were involved for
August of this year, 23S of them were
listed as "cause not stated" Of the
total number of accidents during
August, 20 occurred while motorists
were making turns, the statistics show,
but do not make it clear as to what
percentage of these made turns in
correctly, with the exception of four
which were listed outright as i'm
proper"
