Traffic Engineer Drivers Must Now Comply With Exact Speed Designated An extensive re-signing of the State’s speed zones on paved pri mary highways and. secondary Rotarians conducted a “kanga- roads in rural areas ^ nearing j-qq court” at their luncheon completion. Traffic Engineer Rob-™geting in the Southern Pines ert Burch reports. Country'Club last Friday—“try More than 1,000 speed zone lo- ing” members who had been ab' Rotarians ‘Try’ Members For Not Attending Meets cations have been studied and re classified. A thorough engineering investigation was mad^ on the lo cation of each speed zone. As a result, a total of 15,000 posts and sent from recent club meetings. A. C. Dawson served as judge, Dr. L. M. Daniels acting as pros ecuting attorney, and Garland Pierce as defense attorney, with signs have been erected across the t^e club as jury, until it was dis State. “To maintain a free flow of traffic, we did away with many unnecessary and obsolete speed zones. We wanted to be fair to the through motorist and not impose any undue restriction. Some zones were abolished, others were in creased, some reduced and many new ones were put in after our engineering survey,” he said. Mean What They Stay Burch stressed that the' speed zones mean just what they say. “We’ve tried to post the speed zones with the maximum safe driving speed. Our new signs have taken out the former tolerance. Instead of posting a 25 mph sign and hoping that a driver will slow down to 30 or 35 mph which might be the true safe maximum speed, we’ve posted such an area with a 35 mph sign which means 35 and no higher. The .new signs make no allowance for the driver who merely slows down and doesn’t comply with the exact posted speed. The wise driver will go no faster than the signs indi cate.” Motorists are urged by Burch to cooperate by observing the speed zones. He emphasized that the speed zones have a definite reason for being there based on a thorough engineering survey. “Please observe the signs,” he said, “when driving through a re stricted speed zone. Watch drive way entrances, intersections, and especially pedestrians. That way, the area will be safe for covered that both the prosecuting and defense! attorneys had been absent from recent meetings. Substitutes then were appointed to try them. The trial procedure produced some amusing situations and members enjoyed the program. Guests of the club Friday in cluded: H. Lee Thomas, county superintendent of schools; Ed Brazington of Leland, Miss.; Don aid Schwartz, Westfield, N. Y., and M. Z. Perkinson of High Point, son of James B. Perkinson, president of the Southern Pines Rotary Club. highway users as well as the through motorist.” Two New Signs Two new signs have been add ed to speed zones, one at its be ginning, the other at its end. The old “Speed Zone Ahead” has been replaced by a new “Reduce Speed Ahead” posted 600 feet restricted zone. The 1955 North Carolina Legislature passed a law requiring any governmental agency (including cities and towns as well as the State High way Commission) that has the authority of posting speed zones to post warning signs 600 feet in advance of any speed zone. This warns and advises the approach ing mctoroist of the existence of The other new sign, “Resume Safe Speed,” is posted at the end of the speed zone. It replaces the old “End of Speed Zone” which is still widely used in many states. Critics say “End of Speed Zone” is SC' worded t6 encourage a driver so worded to encourage a driver to suddenly speed up and to think he can go as fast as he likes. The new “Resume Safe Speed” satis fies such coihplaints, signals the Other I (jj-iyeP jpg jjgg jgf^ restricted speed area, and yet doesn’t imply he should speed to excess. In Aberdeen that A well-traveled portion of high way in Moore County on which the signs have been changed is No. 1 through Aberdeen where which must be I the speed limit has been increased in advance of a ^ from 35 to 45 miles per hour.
