UNIGUE GUARDS 0N {DANGEROUS CURVES State Highway Department Ex- penmentmg on Berlin "Pike Thn-u new types of glard ral! have bcrn put in place on the Berlin turn- Plke, Just south of the Beckley rail- Foad crossing as an experiment by the Mate highway department, (| larence J. ennett, state highway commissioner explained to a representative of the Herald this morning. Two of the new types are supposed 16 provent cars from going over em- bankments, The first type put ‘in place s practically the same as the old wooden fence which has been in Use on dangerous curves for many ¥ears past, The second consists of a serics of heavy square concrote poles, welghted at the bottom which makes them hard to tip oter and connected by a wire cable, If a car runs into| the pole or cable the force of resist-| ance will keep it from continuing further on“its ‘way. ' It will take an extra heavy weight to knock over one of the concrete poles, The third ex- periment is thatsof a wooden guard rail with the lower rail projecting out | towards the road. The lower rail hzy supposed to set an automobile or| yehicle back onto the road if it should | glide off its course and strike the | fence, { Mr. Bennett explained that thé ex- periment ¥ being made in Berlin only &y this curve is considered to be among the most dangerous in the atate and near Hartford, where the tgyout ci be watched by members of the state highway department, TH® new concrete type of guard Wwill not only do away [with the, ex- pense of always | repairing wapden | rails when the putoists smash through'it but will prove less costly ® and less dangerous, to the luckless motorist. The. posts, which weigh | about 400 pounds, are supposed lol act as an anchor to the cable and n“ they are knocked over they will only | need to be resct. The motorist will | save on repalr bills, it is claimed, and | the danger of turning over, ' due to striking pieces of railing which have been knocked to the ground will be réduced. | 1 Mr. Bennett said that if the new ex- | periments prove successful in Berlin such rails and guards will be estab- lished at other dangefbus points on the highways of Conneéticut.
