'Ciiy-Wide Changes
In ; Signs and Signals
Revealed by Keneipp

Three steps being undertaken to
improve traffic signs and signals
throughout the city were revealed
last night by Traffic Director
George E. Keneipp.
The innovations, as disclosed to
the Commissioners Traffic Ad-
visory Board meeting at the Mu-
nicipal Center, are:
/. Replacing of all non electric
directional signals at intersections
with electric arrows.
2. Installation of experimental
new-type electric mo left turn"
signs at two downtown intersec-
tions.
8. Erection of easily visible re-
f1ector signs on all safety islands.
They've been one of my pet
peeves," said Mr.. Keneipp Of the
painted, reflector r-encrusted signs
now used to indicate left and right
turns at some intersections.
Wing Signs Confusing.
These wing signs" he said, are
often difficult to see, and confuse
motorists. Already. he said, sew
eral have been replaced with the
electric arrows to indicate
through" traffic and left and
right turns.
I'VE estimate that, within a
year." he declared, well have
the wing signs eliminated"
The new mo left turn" signs,
if they prove effective, will be
installed at most intersections
where left turns are prohibited
only during certain hours OF the
day, such as rush hours.
In about a month, Mr.. Keneipp
disclosed. three of the experiment
tai signs will be erected at East
Executive avenue and Pennsyl-
vania avenue NV. and four at
Fourteenth street and Constitu-
ton avenue NV. These signs will
flash mo left turn in red neon
from am. to $50 am. and from
4 to $50 pm, but will be dark
to allow turning during the rest
of the day.
Can't Light Islands.
Already under way is program
to place foot-wide, three-foot-tall
reflector signs on all safety islands
throughout the city. The signs are
red at top and bottom.
"The ideal thing" commented
the traffic director. 'is to light
those islands electrically" But he
pointed out that the cost would be
prohibitive.
He said he is also dissatisfied
with the signs on streetcar load
ing platforms, which are installed
by the Capital Transit Co. This.
he declared, will be taken up with
the Public Utilities Commission.
Results of traffic survey, made
at II check-points in the city,
also were disclosed by the traffic
director. This revealed that the
flow last year increased 24.3 per
cent over that Of 1941, and 1949
even topped the 194s figure by
S8 per cent.
Mr.. Keneipp also presented the
