CHATTER OF HOOPS

Public Makes Notes
On Zone Test HighJUdy.

Response from the driving public
using Trunk Highway 169 between Elk
River and Grand Rpaids, the stretch
over which for some months the Min
nesota Highway department has been
conducting a speed coming experiment,
indicates that the 80, 40 and 60 miles
an hour speed limit zones have met
with the motorists favor, according to
w. F. Rosenwald, traffic engineer of
the highway department.
This highway was designated as the
guinea pig" or laboratory road for
testing the effect and means of en-
forcement of speed zones provided for
by the new Uniform Traffic Regulation
act, before the act was applied to all
state trunk highways.
Post card questi"anaires have been
distributed along that route by the
safety division of the state highway de-
partment, Mr.. RoSenwald said, and the
response has been encouraging and in
dicates a desire on the part of drivers
to cooperate with the department in
safety measures.
The responses to the QUESTIONABLE
reveal that the public believes the Elk
River Grand Rapids coming plan should
be carried out generally, by posting all
the state highways, the safety head de-
| clared.
The concenSuS was that the average
speed of motor vehicles over the Elk
River-Grand Rapids stretch was low
cred, and that caution on the part of
drivers was heightened by the speed
limit zone signs, he said. Residents
, along T. H. 169 reported also that ii
seemed that the speed of traffic was
cut with the appearance of the signs
and that definite decrease in driving
rates through towns was noted
Mr.. RoSenwald however, said the ex-
pertinent would be continued for some
weeks before attempting to zone other
roads in the state system. Zoning, he
said, is not intended to step the normal
rate of speed up to the point stated on
| the zone signs but is rather to set a
speed limit under normal conditions, a
rate deemed prudent and reasonable. ~
The public, he said, has shown that it
IS aware of the purpose of the signs

In Cuzco, Peru, once the metrop-
