Speeding up traffic on the outlying arteries of travel will enable Wash- ingtonians to live farther out in the suburbs, thereby coming closer to the ideal combination of country and city life. This is the observation of mem- bers of the traffic committee of the Washingtori Automotive Trade Asso- clation, who view the establishment of a 27-mile limit on the so-called arterial highways as a distinct forward step in handling the local traffic problem. Establishment of speed zones where speed may be exercised with safety is considered by the automobile deal- ers as a means of relleving cong in the crowded downtown The enforcement of the full-s on side streets intersecting the ar terial highways, it is pointed out, will minimize the possibility of accidents in the higher speed zones. Explains Congestion. “Slow traffic makes congestion,’ said Paul B. Lum, president of the W A. T. A., in commenting on the es tablishment of the 27-mile limit by the director of traffic. ““Where vehicles are moving rapidly and in an orderly well controlled manner, there is little complaint about traffic. affic_au- thorities are coming to recognize that congestion in the city is not due to the excessive number of motor vehi cles, but to their slow movement. “The higher speed zones will lessen the time required to travel to and from the business sections of the city, and will be reflected to the advantage of downtown business, as well as in the development of the outlying dis- tricts as residential sections. Modern civilization measures distance in terms of time. It isn't a question of how many miles one lives from town, but how much time Is consumed in travel- ing the distance. Tests Show Value. “Other cities have found the higher speed zones on arterial highways of practical value not only in relieving congestion, but also in developing their outlying and suburban sections.” Mr. Lum pointed out that when the present traffic law was before Con- gress, the Washington Automotive Trade Association communicated with members of the Senate and House vantages of higher speeds on arterlal highways.
