Rules For Susquehanna
Toll Bridge
State Roads Board Adopts Traffic
Regulations For New Span

State Roads Board Adopts Traffic
Regulations For New Span
Rules and regulations governing
traffic over the new Susquehanna
River Bridge to be opened within a
short time have been announced by
the State Roads Commission of
Maryland.
The new span, crossing between
Havre de Grace and Perryville, will.
carry heavy truck and automobile
traffic moving between Wilmington,
Philada., and New York, and ada
cent territories, into Baltimore,
Washington, and the south.
Most of the rules announced by
the commission are similar to those
applied in all instances to heavily
travelled bridges, with some regula-
lions designed with regard to toll
collections.
Speed rates are controlled to IS
miles per hour on the bridge proper,
and limited to 10 miles per hour on
approach to toll booths, Police, fire
department vehicles and ambulances
will not be included in the rate of
speed regulations.
Traffic moving across the span is
forbidden to stop or to park on the
bridge, except when authorized by
bridge officers. The commission
ruled that stalled motorists may be
removed from the bridge and its
approaches by representatives of the
commission, and that such removal
will be at the vehicle owners risk.
Passage over the span may be
denied by properly authorized rep
resentatives of the commission, on
conditions listed in the regulations
as:
(a) Vehicles which are loaded in
such manner or with such mater
ials, or which are so constructed,
operated, or equipped, as to be
likely to endanger persons or prop
erty, or which are likely to render
the use of the bridge unsafe:
(b) Vehicle with persons standing
on the outside.
(c) Vehicle having fat tires.
(d) Vehicles in charge of incom-
petent or intoxicated operators.
(e) Vehicles loaded with garbage,
loose hay, straw or similar material,
not sufficiently covered.
(f) Vehicles loaded with animals
or poultry, not properly confined.
(g) Vehicles overloaded to such
an extent that the means of propul-
sion are insufficient.
(h) Vehicles with inadequate
brakes.
(i) No unusually slow-moving We
hicles, or vehicles which, for any
other reason, are likely to cause
undue delay or interference with
traffic, shall be permitted on the
bridge except at such times and
under such circumstances that no
undue delay to traffic will occur.
I'd Other vehicles which, in the
judgment of the superintendent of
the bridge, are likely to endanger
persons or property, or to render
the use of the bridge unsafe.

ASK FOR PAVING OF FRENCH
TOWN ROAD

A delegation of citizens from
Perryville appeared before the Coun-
ty Commissioners to urge the paw
ing of the Frenchtown road, extend
ing through the town from the old
foundry building, to point beyond
the new bridge, distance of about
a mile and a half in all.
The commissioners explained to
the group, as they have found it
necessary to enlighten others, that
they do not have the authority to
approve paving operations nor the
money to pay for same.
The board agreed, however, to
place the appeal of the represent
atives of Perryville before the State
Roads Commission, which is the only
help they can extend such groups.

DoUBLE-DECK BRIDGE TRAFFIC.

DOUBLE-DECk BRIDGE TRAFFIC
With the opening of the Susque-
hanna toll bridge, between Perry
vile and Havre de Grace this week,
the old double-deck bridge goes into
the discard, except for foot passen-
gers.
Checkers for the State Roads
Commission report that from Sat-
urday midnight to Sunday midnight
during the weekend of August TO-
IL, twenty-seven thousand motor
vehicles passed over the old high.
way bridge between Havre de Grace
and Perryville. The check was made
in both directions.
Many of these vehicles were trucks
of different sizes and weights. The
toll as planned for the new struc.
ture will be 20 cents per car with
a graduated scale for trucks, SO
that, considering the number on the
new bridge will be the same, the
new S4,50O,000 steel and concrete
structure will be paid for in much
less time than is provided in the
contract for the sale of bonds, which
is said to be thirty years.
