Klotz's report attracted at- tention a few days ago through the recommendation that speeders be re- quired to draw up to the curb and stand for fifteen minutes as & penalty for exceeding the speed limit. A further study of the report to- day revealed the fact that Capt. Klotz did not intend to urge that no speed violators should be taken to court and fined. urt for Flagrant Cases. “It should not be assumed,” he states, “that these minor street cor- rections should replace entirely the present procedure and penalties, but that they should be used in minor and apparently less intentional viola- tions, the more unwieldy and severer penaities now in force being still ad- hered to in the more flagrant cases evidently requiring more drastic ac tion. Capt. Klotz belleves there s a growing tendency among motorists to use the horn instead of the brake in avoiding colligfons with pedestrians. The utilities engineer is of the opinion that where parking at the curb is permitted at an angle of 45 degrees it should be with the rear right wheel to the curb instead of the right front wheel. 3 Under this system.” he explained. “the driver of the vehicle is in the roadway and in full view and cogni- zant of approaching traffic while h. is doing the necessary backing.
