Show TRAFFIC TANGLES CHAN r G local traffic regulations to Unwind unwind un- un wind the ev ever changing r tr traffic problem will ivill not improve the situation in the slightest d degree gree unless th the agency of enforcement is kept constantly on the job Those hearted good-hearted citizens who have thought for a long time that successful traffic traffic fic lie regulation is more a matter of education than of compulsion must have come to the conclusion by now that they have been mis mis- taken Traffic records prove that the majority majority majority ma ma- of motorists will not behave unless compelled compelled com corn to do so The installation of safety barriers in the downtown district must take a load off the police mind for they do their own work If education is needed any motorist may ram his car into one of them and learn the true meaning of their presence on the streets The painting of lines in South Temple street however is a bit different The idea Is right but there is no physical barrier to keep cars in their proper lanes Therefore motorists will come to disregard them unless the traffic police impress their significance and meaning upon heedless drivers The The Telegram is in sympathy with the proposed proposed proposed pro pro- posed changes in the local traffic ordinances but is not content to let the job go at that There is no use writing any law upon the books unless it is to be vitalized by enforce enforce- ment The present tangle in the speed phase of the ordinance is directly due to failure of the past administration to make the local or ordinance ordinance ordinance or- or conform to the state law and also to tax lax enforcement The chore of the present administration Is to put teeth into the traffic law and see they are not extracted |
