Many of the hard surface roads in use today were built to handle the volume of traffic of ten or more years 2go, and before the use of wide buses and freight carrying trucks became so | * general. The conference favors the widening of these roads as a means of increasing their safety, meeting the traffic demand and reducing the hazard of accident. In an effort to look forward to the traffic conditions which may reason- ably be expected in ten or more years from the increase in automobiles and motorvehicles, the conference points out that the rapid growth in the use of motor vehicles has already imposed a demand on the existing streets and roads that in many cases exceeds or threatens to exceed their capacity. Conference Recommendations In offering a solution for this problem, the conference made the fol- lowing recommendations in regard to safety requirements in the construc- tion of streets and highways: “They should be: “1, Adequate roadway width for the traffic, with separate footways along highways with heavy vehicular and pedestrian traffic, and adequate rights of way to provide for parking space, clear view at curves and inter- sections and future roadway widen- ings. “2, Space for parking off the traveled portion of rural highways, either continuously, or at intervals not exceeding 300 feet. “3. Reasonable grades of not more than 6 per cent where feasible, and curves of not less than 300 feet radius, on highways of primary importance, with widening and banking of curves. “4, Avoidance of combinations of heavy grades and sharp curves. “5. Cross sections of the pavement or roadway as flat as drainage condi- tions will permit. “g, Guard railings of substantial type on the shoulder of embankments. “7. Clear view of _ approdciing vehicles for at least 500 ‘feet on high- ways of primary importance, provid- ed by necessary control of private ad- vertising signs on the right of way or on private property near the highway, and by removing the trees, shrubs and sloping banks on or off the right of way, and cutting down sharp hill crests. Proper Illumination Needed “8, Bridges at least 22 feet wide to enable two lines of traffic to pass without diffiéulty, and suitable provi- sion for the safety of pedestrians on each bridges. “9. Careful selection and wide marking of detours, with their main- tenance in safe condition, and the Prompt removal of obsolete detour or temporary construction signs. “10, Maintenance in good condi- tion of pavements and roadway shoulders. “11. Prompt removal of snow from streets and highways of heavy traf- fic. “12.—Proper illumination of city ALL THAT WAS LEFT OF MAJOR RENOS COMMAND |_— ON TOP OTH HILL SURROUNDED BY Pont WHERE ‘SOMEBODY HAD T” MOMENTS WE'D LIKE TO LIVE OVER. “TAKIN THE BUMPS" THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE THURSDAY. JULY 3, 1930 National Safety Conference C | OUT OUK WAY By Williams alls for Widening o Narrow Roads streets and of highways wherever financially practicable.” Adequate and ample protection of highway intersections was deemed by the conference to be one of the most important phases of assuring the safety of the roads and reducing and forestalling accidents and vehicle mishaps. Not only should the physical haz- ards be removed, in the view of the conference, but special protective measures, such as signs and markihgs, should be installed. These signs and} markings, the conference urges, | should be uniform in every state and on every highway. The hazard at highway intersec- tions, in the opinion of the confer- ence, is such as to require the same safety measures and recautions asj view is obstructed, or other special are taken in respect to railway grade ‘crossings. Types of Standard Fixed Signs . The special protective measures ‘and safeguards at highway intersec- tions in the way of standard fixed signs and markings, the conference declares, should be as follows: \ 1, Advance warning signs in the form of standard “cross road” or “‘side road” signs at approaches to high- way intersections where the crossings would not otherwise be readily recog- nized, or where there is a hazard that is not otherwise obvious; also, center line markings on roadways of heavy traffic, and lane markings on wide roadways. 2.
