SPEED SIGNS
MARK ALL.
CUR Y ES

Effective Monday, October 3lst,
Safe Speed signs will be installed
by State Highway Department at
all curves on State Route y. S. 40
in Ohio, it was announced today by
Highway -DMector John FASTER, Jr.
This method Of marking curves
has been adopted to provide safer
driving conditions for traffic.
TO determine the critical or safe
speeds for traffic, the Traffic Bureau
Of the State Highway Department
made experimental tests and studies
on all curves on this route. install
iation Of the Safe Speed signs,
which will include the replacing of
all existing curve warning signs
with newly designed reflectorized
ones, will be made under the super
vision Of the Traffic Bureau.
State Route U. 8. 40, Highway
Director Jaster said, was selected as
the first highway in Ohio on which
to post these experimental Safe
Speed signs sinasmuch as this road
has numerous sharp curves and
turns due to the fact that it was
one Of the earliest improved high
ways across the state.
The Dayton forum. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1913-1949, 1938-11-11

It is made clear that the Safe
Speed signs will be posted to supple
nent the present curve warning
signs, there being no legal authori-
zation for their use as speed limit
signs which can be enforced.
However; the observance OF these
speed signs will insure much great
err degree OF safety to the motoring
public.
'f.Curves," declared Traffic Engi-
neer Harry E. Neal, "are recognize
ably one Of the greatest single ha-
yards on our highways and as such
they have been marked with warn
ing curve signs. Unfortunately,
though, the standard curve signs
give no indication as to the rate OF
speed at which the curve may be
negotiated safely. The posting OF
safe speed on curves offers itself as
q logical development in the pro-
gressive movement to make highway
travel as safe as humanity possible. /"
ssThese informative Safe Speed
signs,'' added Mr.. Neal, will be
mounted below the curve warning
signs on the same posts. The sign
with black numerals and letters on
o white background will indicate to
the motorist the speed at which the
curve can be negotiated safely un-
der normal weather conditions when
the pavement is dry
