I painted out to him before we got inte the discussion that city man ager Deve King was the director @f Public Safety and that he was gretty well loaded with some gritty jobs which took prece-| @enee over the question of stop sane.

He states’ | that Key West is not yet ready for one way streets. However we only have two one-way streets in the city, one being Duval and | the other being three blocks of | Fleming. I do not believe this is | too much. The two way traffic } was found during the first year Overseas Road and Toll Bridge ! District big concrete bridges were completed in 1938 to be a danger on Duval and Fleming streets. Accordingly the entire length of Duval from Division north became @ one way sireet and the three blocks of Fleming also which! was also a very busy street. e e THROUGH OR NOT Now as to through officer believes that 1 certain which well travelled streets a driver wishes to get right along on. These are say Whitehead, used by heavy Navy traffic throughout the day go from the Section Base and Naval Air Station to Naval Operating Base. The officers argument as to through streets is that everybody now watches for cars jutting out of intersections now anyway so why make any one street a through street. Ditto on One Way streets. e e COLOR SCHEME WRONG Finally he was telling me that the color scheme of yellow on the stop signs is the wrong color. Stop signs elsewhere have red backgrounds, yellow is usually used for loading zones. This same color scheme is used in traffic’ lights, red for stop, yellow for' Here is where I disagree with recently, of tourist Key West when the| caution and green for go.
