Show r i x i fZ-i THIS STOP SIGN HAS HAD IT. Ellis L. Armstrong, director di-rector of Utah Highways, points to mutilated stop sign which was located on one of the state's roads. Target practice prac-tice completely obliterated wording on the marker. Traffic Traf-fic experts of the State Road Commission estimate that the losses to Utah approaches $75,000 annually from such damage. Shooting at signs is not only a misdemeanor punishable pun-ishable by fine, but makes for many other hazards, Mr. Armstrong has pointed out. It endangers life, erases warning warn-ing markers, and thus contributes to accident increase. Money spent for repairing the results of such carelessness could otherwise be used for maintenance and construction of roads, Mr. Armstrong further added. |
