A new system for regulating the con- gested traffic in Fifth avenue was put In operation by Deputy Commissioner Piper this morning, when three mounted policemen took charge of affairs between Fourteenth and Fitty-ninth streets. Trucks and heavy vehicles are to move !n Tine at a uniform speed next to the curb, while the lines of lighter ve- hicles and automobiles must keep in or- der in the centre, ‘ho idea is to main- tain @n even pace and avold the con- gestion that has hitherto made #o much trouble. No interruption of the steady line ts allowed, and no slanting across to make a landing with the left side of the truck | next the curb and the horses’ heads turned against the line of travel. Entering the avenue from the east at any cross street, except Fourteenth, Twenty-sixth, Forty-second and Fifty- ninth, a truck must go north along the east curb. If it is bound for an address on the west side of the avenue it can cross over only at one of the four Streets specified and must then head down the west aide of the avenue and bring up with the curb on its right, For instance, should a truck enter from the east at Fourteenth street with goods for @ house on the west sido of the street at Eighteenth street the driver must go along the east curb to ‘Twenty-sixth street, there cross to the west side of the avenue and come down to Elghteenth street. coming in from the West must drive south along the west curb, and if they want to get to the east slide can cross only at one of the four streets named. A carriage or truck having once stopped with the right side to the curb the driver will be debarred from the dangerous practice, at starting again, of reining his horses around Into ‘the falrway—turning the carrlage on {ts heels, 30 to spe He must drive straight ahead and turn at the cross street.
