view to formulating a long-range sys-

FLASHING red neon arrows are
the latest development planned
by the District Department Of

FLASHING red neon arrows are
L the latest development planned
by the District Department Of
L Vehicles and Traffic to simplify
control of Washington's unique system
which makes certain streets one-way
in opposite directions at different times
of the day.
One of the new signs already has
been erected as an experiment at the
intersection of Sixth and E streets.
The sign flashes the words lone way"
in letters four inches high and bears
arrows pointing north and south, one
of which is lighted according to the
time of day and the resulting direction
of the traffic.
According to Traffic Director Will
liam A. Van Duzer, about 40 per cent
of Washingtonians ride in street cars
and buses, as opposed to the IS or 80
per cent who ride in public vehicles
in such cities as New York and Phila-
delphia. Consequently, the volume of
private automobile traffic is proper
tionately greater in Washington, and
unusual methods of control are neces-
sary.
The success of the one-way street
system is evident, Van Duzer pointed
out today. in the fact that on such
streets as Sixth and Thirteenth the
volume of one-way traffic is now 80
per cent greater than the former total
volume of two-way traffic.
The signs now in use are not en-
tirely satisfactory, Van Duzer said.
Every motorists watch is not exactly
right, and an error in time, one way
or the other, frequently occasions
some confusion, particularly around 4
pm.
There would be even more confu-
sion, local officials point out, if it were
not for the eager vigilance of Wash
ington motorists who seem to take a
positive delight in emphatically and
noisily correcting any driver who in
advertently turns the wrong way into
a one-way street.
This condition will be eliminated,
Van Duzer said, because the neon
arrows will be controlled by anHHec-
trio clock, and they will flash On, ex-

any other time when the volume of
