Under the rules governing the streets at which no semaphore is placed, a driver can signal his intent | to turn out of the avenue and make the turn when an opening permits. But the new semaphore rules forbid | that. DRIVERS MUST TAKE THEIR! CHANCES. So, the vehicle aiming to turn east or west must wait the opentmg of the | side streets and then take his chance of worming a way through the al- ready moving conveyances, And here ts where the left turn comes in. The driver, instead of going beyond the semaphore and then making his} turn to the side street, makes the tura on the near side of tho signal and the trafMfo man, cutting sharply acroas the roadway and directly into the stream of on-ocoming vehicles. Several times to-day there were many vehicles halted In the side streets awaiting a chance to cross the avenue, and although there was a wide gap in the north and southbound | trafic, the man at the semaphore could not permit the side-street traf- fic to move until the policeman at Thirty-fourth Street had swung his semaphore east and west and un corked the bottled-up conveyances. And, by the way, this greatly evas perated one young woman, who made frantic gestures to the policeman a the crossing that she was in @ burry to catch a train. “1 can't do a thing to help her,” the policeman explained, ‘She'll have to wait until I get the signal,” The new system interferes with the pedestrian only when he wishes, for instance, to cross the avenue at the time an avenue vehicle makes thr turn into the side street, Then th man on foot has to take his chance of getting across ahead or behind th vehicle, SENATOR BROWN HERE.
