New arm signals similar to those

by the Commissioners for District
motorists effective February l.
The ruling was one Of several
changes in trafdc regulations pro-
posed by Traffic Director George e
Keneipp and approved by the city
heads effective on that date.
The new arm signals will require
that the left hand and arm to be
extended upward from the vehicle to
indicate a right turn; horizontally
to signify left turn, and downward
to indicate reduction in speed or
a stop.
Present rules fail to link any spe-
cific move with any arm signal
