Two Meetings
Point Up Need
For Road Safety

The need for improving traffic
safety on Route 135 at Blooming
ton was pointed up this week by
two meetings involving county and
state authorities and private citi-
zcns.
Tuesday, a delegation of citizens
from Bloomington met with the
County Commissioners and other
officials in the Court House IT
Oakland to discuss possible means
of preventing runaway accidents
on Backbone mountain. Four per
sons have died in accidents involV-
ing runaway trucks during the past
year
Some Of the possibilities men
toned Included several stopping
areas on the mountain, larger signs
warning drivers of the danger, and
the use of runaway roads to be
scooped out of the mountain on
the left hand side of the descend
ing grade.
Tuesday evening, another meet
ing to discuss the same subject
was held in the Piedmont town
council chamber and included
persons from the Tri-Towns area.
Edward P. Kahl, of Mt. Lake
Park, State Roads Commission
maintenance engineer for this
county, submitted recommends
tions based on an inspection he
had made of the four-mile down.
grade several weeks ago.
He has proposed to the State
Roads Commission that two man
datory truck stops be marked on
Route 1876. One would be at the
top of the mountain and the sec
ond midway down the steep
grade. At the midway point trucks
would be required to pull off
the main surface of the road and
then resume the downward move
ment in a lower gear.
Larger signs equipped with re-
Electors would be placed to re-
mind drivers of the danger in
descending the mountain. Kahl
said a similar plan had been
evolved for Route 40 on the east
slope of Big Savage mountain
which leads into Frostburg.
The cost of paving the shoulders
of the road for the descending
trucks was estimated to be S10,l5O
for Big Savage and $4,000 for
Backbone mountain.
The group at Piedmont endorsed
the proposals of Mr.. Kahl, who
hoped it would reduce the num-
Der of fatalities on that particular
portion of highway
William Bevers, spokesman
for Bloomington, attended the
meeting and said that steps should
also be taken to prevent the for
nation of crowd at the scene OF
an accident. He pointed out that
many persons congregatcd on the
highway invited additional fatali-
ties.
The group is planning to notify
the State Roads Commission, the
Garrett County Commissioners and
the State Police of their action.

In the western part of Mary

recommendations on the possible
conversion of any available sites.
