PAGE TWO ~~ TRAFFIC RULE | & STILL LACKING | Striking Lack of of Sunieliks| 4 in Regulation of Vehicles Is Noted Washington, D. C., August 15.—De- | spite ¢he progress made in the pro- moti on ot a uniform motor vehicle, law fot the country, diversification pro rather than standardization til! ““"=" the rule as far as traffic and control in the large citics of the nation is concerned. This coupled with the conclusion . that from all appearances standard- | = imation of city traffic regulations still on the far horizon of the futu' is the outstanding deduction from a survey recently completed by the American Automobile Association. This survey was based on an ex- haustive questionnaires sent to key cities in every section of the country. The questionnaire of the national motoring body was designed to shed light on the handling of such matters as the right-and-left hand turns. one-way streets, parking, automatic control signals, boulevard systems, penalties for traffic violations cial traffic courts, use of the stree , by contractors, and kindred matters Telated to flow, of traffic. Diverse Views Held Another important fact developed by the questionnaire was that regu- lations tr: and proven effective by one city..were often discarded ardous, by oth ore rg less com- 5 believed, m camaek’ Seudtie emgtguers hold widely diverse views on some common problems. The A. A. A, sum- mary of the survey follow: First —.Right-and-left hand turns are more or less of a local problem, the general concensus being in favor of the abolition of the left-hand turn, while particular emphsis is laid on the danger of the left-hand turn in congested districts and on arterial highway: Second One-way streets are ap- parently uccessful remedy for congestion where streets are narrow, shut the best results are obtained only “where streets are alternated to ob- = in an even flow of traffic in all Hirections. Third—Parking is largely subject 3to local conditions, the tendency be ig toward the prohibition of parking in very congested districts, and the placing of a maximum limit of two ours in down-town sections. Fourth—Penalties imposed for vio- “lations disclose a wide diversity of practices; there is growing sentiment in favor of establishing a system for leaving fixed collateral for minor of- fenses, thus avoiding the need of going to court; the establishment of special traffic courts has been found helpful. STANDARDIZED "<5 Dorsitt K GET YO"? GOT — Fifth — There is little or no uni- formity as to traffic contrel bodies, a fact which often results in confu- sion and conflict in communities where no traffic head is designated. Sixth—-The practices of revocation of permit shows wide divergence and frequently there. is no legislation ‘whatever on this subject. Seventh—The flow of traffic is on| .. the whole aided by automatic eor- itzol, but on the other hand is found to be largely dependent upon the proper routing of traffic and the ob- ~cuservance of regulations. Boulevard System Successful Eighth — Boulevard systems have proven a success where instituted with proper forethought, and where signals are obeyed. This is regarded as one of the prime factors in solv- ing future problems. Ninth — The movement of trucks and freight on the streets has re- ceived scant mtion to date, but there is a definite trend to restrict trucks to certain streets and to re- strict the handling of freight until after nightfall. Tenth—Contractors’ use of streets constitutes almost everywhere a very vexing problem, but this is one which could be easily remedied by restric- tivé regulations. Eleventh—Permanent improvement which is the most important field, from the standpoint of the future, is gageretviny very little attention since = evenly 8 lew cities in the country are ~ really planning to meet future re- quirement: Twelfth: " The grade crossing situ- ation sho 4 distinct tendency to- ward elimination of grad there'is a growing recogn’ news of tunnels pedestri: tic, where congestion is véry bad. -Thirteenth—Street widening is im- peded by cost and protests of abuting 1 property owners. ‘ourteenth—In the case of street cars—a necessary ‘im mt t medern vehicular traffie-— the best resu! being obtained by re- routing, ate tion of loading plat- forms, and ig of down-town ter- ees ig and unloading in velieular bias ee ave AL Spee 7h saline dj Tesult, they said, RAN Si a OK "S WEN?

Warfare of 2 Groups Causes Trouble: ‘The question arises, Olen as the result of a two groups of insurance companie; one known as the Union seep and the other known as the Western, Burcau group.

At present, however, O1 ness said, the jon companies ‘write about 75 per cent of the fire insur- ance business in North Dakota.
