This program constitutes a revi as well as an extension of Traffic Di- rector Harland's original plan for au tomatically controlling the District traffic. A network of synchronized sig- nals, augmented by independent inter- section signals, is contemplated for th business section in addition to outlying sections. The District now has 165 automat- ically operated traffic sign: The amended program provides 829 more costing approximately $270,000 when installed. Revised Program Due in Fall. The initial installations under the | revised program will be made in the Fall, but it will take a year traffic au- thorities estimate, to complete the pro- gram. The new installations, according to information given the Commissioners. will relieve 30 traffic policemen now 0@ | full time duty and 71 officers doing part time duty during rush hours. The Com- missioners also were advised that the proposed installations had been ap- proved by Chairman Simmons of the { House District subcommittee on appro- | priations and attaches of the Federal Bureau of Efficiency. As some of the synchronized systems are planned on several streets on which there are traction lines, District offi- cials had feared that the street raliiway companies would oppose the revised program. Traction officials, however said they would not object to the lights | if they are of a type which do not grove | detrimental to car service. The new | lights, traffic officials announced, are to be installed so as to overlap the amber light with the red and with the green for the desired number of scconds. The ! flashing of the signal lights as a fire | signal also will be climinated. System for Carline Streets. | The streets on which car tracks are | located where it is planned to_install synchronized light systems are G street from Sixth to Fourteenth. Seventh street from D to Massachusetts avenue, | Fourteenti street from Harvard to ‘Mrmme and Conneeticut avenue from |Calvert street to Cathedral avenue. | The other_synchronized systems follow: | “'Rhode Island avenue from Twelfth to Fi street, E street from Twelfth | to North Capitol street, K street from Ninth to Eighteenth street, Sixth street from Louisiana to Rhode Isiand avenue, K street and Florida avenue from Fifth street to Fifteenth and H streets northeast, Massachusetts from _ Twentieth to Twenty-second street, Maryland avenue from Second to Fifteenti: street northeast, Eighteenth | street from H street to Massachusetis |avenue, Fifteenth street from Vermont to Florida avenue, Fifteenth street from Euclid to Irving street, Tenth street from E street to Massachusells avenue, Thirteenth street from E street to Massachusetts avenue, and around Dupont, Thomas and Iowa circles.
