H. A referred to the drafting committee. The adoption of this commitee’s report to- morrow will constitute the formal ac- tion of the conference on all matters re- lating to highway safety. Asserting that traffic congestion is ngt & necessary evil, the committee on | measures for the relief of traffic con- gestion reported that intersections of streets. or highways are found 10 be the points of greatest congestion. One of the first measures of relief to be con- sidered, it said, -is traffic control by some form of signal system. “Traffic control - lights are serving their purpose well,” the committee said, “but when indiscriminately used, or too frequently placed, may become A nuisance, a menace to safety, and a contributing factor in the congestion problem, “Stopping for traffic lights where a light is unnecessary or improperly timed irritates the motorist and encourages C’Onltmpl for traffic control and regula- tion. -“The utility of the traffic signal svstem depends upon the accuracy with which its indications are adjusted to traffic requirements. Signal timing and use must be changed from time to time to_meet changing trafi¢ conditions.” ‘The committee recommended the marking of trafic lanes on densely traveled main roads, particularly at the approach to intersections. Parking Declared Uneconomie. Parking on the streets, the committee taid, “is an uneconomic practice, with the costs from congestion frequently exceeding the benefits that come from it.” Terminal facilities for vehicles, especially in central business districts, are essential to the transaction of bu; ness, it was said, and as one means of relief the committee suggested the sep- aration of slow moving traffic from the fast moving traffic, either by lanes on the streets or by the use of separate streets. “Commereial vehicles should not be | barred from any streets,” the committee | id, “otil suitable alternate routes | navt peen designated and are found to | be_equally suitable.” The committee noted that opinion s | divided on the question of whether the pedestrian should be required to obe: the traffic laws and signals. “It is ob: ous that there is need for much greater co-operation between pedestrain and motorist.” the report said. “Motor trafic making turns has a tendency to ' disregard the right of way of pedes-| trains proceeding on a n light, and | ‘when signals change, drivers frequently overlook the necessity of permitting pe- destrians to reach a place of safety. Pedestrians far too generally disregard the traMc signals, either by proceeding said. “Statistics indicate that a large | percentage of the accidents occur in | broad daylight when there is a clear | view of the tracks in both directions,” sald the report, “and in no small num- | ber of cases the vehicle runs into the | side of the train. It is obvious that neither laws nor enforcement are ef- feetive. There is need for continual effott to educate the public on these matbes.” A trio of the young residerffs at the Washington Home for Foundlings—Charley, Katherine and Bobby—who, heedlessly through lines, of lawfully their young companions there, were entertained yesterday atiernoon by the Board of Lady Visitors.—Star Staff Photo, soaring over the green 314 yards away His chip back was short and he misscd two putts to take a 5 and lose the hols to_Tolley's 4.
