Survey Of Highways
Is Safety Move

Experience gained in systematic
observations locally and in surveys
of trafflc problems in other cities
already have aided District officials
in making provisions for the safety
of Washington pedestrians and mo-
torists.
Capt. H. G. Whitehurst, director
of highways, cites the highway
planning survey now being conduct
ed, pointing out that "its primary
purpose is to improve safety condi-
tions of motorist and pedestrian
alike"
One of the most effective traffic
safety devices, he declared, is the
establishment of grade separations,
such as that in existence at the Vir-
ginia end of the Highway Bridge,
the separations under construction
at K street and Rock Greek Park,
and at Thomas Circle.
Before this expensive type OF
change is undertaken. however, he
explained. every effort is made to
solve the problem by surface
changes.
AS an example of the latter type,
Capt Whitehurst pointed to the
decentralization" of the intersections
at Eleventh street and Vermont
avenue, and at Park road and New
Hampshire avenue. At these inter-
sections one-way traffic channels of
certain of the streets combine with
adjusted traffic lights to eliminate
the heavy cross flow of traffic in an
intersection of large area.
With these changes, he said, and
the installation of traffic islands"
at strategic points, the vehicular
tranic flows easier, and at the same
time the pedestrian finds crossing
the street simpler process, If he
obeys the lights.
Traffic lights, however. won't do
all the work." Capt Whitehurst
pointed out. Tn addition, we must
have the physical plant-the proper
highways"
