Have you ever heard of an arter. ial highway? It may be defined as a street of a city de nated by aw aS a thoroughfare upon which motor vehicle is entitled to the | right of way, regardless of direction. This definition means that any mo. tor vehicle approaching an arterial highway or main artery of traffic in Casper is re ired to come to a complete stop before driving out upon that highway. Let us cite an example. Should Casper adopt the arterial highway pond street would undoubted system, made a main tra artery. Sign reading “STOP—ARTERIAL HIGH WAY," should be placed on the right hand side of every street which s#8en East Second street.
