Parking Regulations Daily More Strict And Stringent In Many of Country's Busy Centers Parking in Daytime in Downtown Section Entirely Prohibited While in Others Varying Time Limits Are Set n>- J. c. rovu: (Copyrifht. I?24. By Tha Advance) (Thii I| the aecond ?f a aerlea ot ditMichri on the handling ?t traffic on the itrrttt and hlfhwa?? ct America. Th* treaendMii increase In tti? number ot automotive eehiclei in km hat aiade th? traffic problem one which involve* imr eity dweller.) New York, Feb. 11 ? Plana for most effective use of parking space in the cities " throughout the coun try now under consideration are naturally dependent on the layout and conformation of the streets themselves, but in general the con gestion is now such that in many centers parking during busy day time hours in the business section is entirely prohibited. In other locations the time a car may be left Is strictly limited. In New York City there is no ordinance which precisely regulates parking, except that cars must not be parked where they obstruct traffic. The police powers are suf ficient to allow determination as to what constitutes obstruction of traffic and parking privileges are severely restricted. Oblique park ing in most cases throughout the country is permitted or prohibited according to the width of the street involved. Synchronized traTfic control has been of tremendous benefit in the moving of automibiles in both New York and Philadelphia. The driver, however, who attempted to follow the New York system in Philadelphia or the Quaker City signals in New York would soon find himself in trouble. In this city a red light gives preparatory signal to stop traffic in all directions. A change to amber permits north and south bound vehicles to move, while a change to green will start the east and west boud traffic. In Philadelphia, an amber light Is the preparatory signal with a green light to "go" and a red light to "stop." the use of the one. way -street* sys tem in Philadelphia has been espe cially effective mainly because many of the thoroughfares are nar row and have only one way trolley lines. This permits drivers to pass on either side of the street car and ! allows 3treet car passengers to en ter and leave cars with greater I ?afety. In cities like Washington where the streets are exceedingly wide, there has been leas extensive use orf the one way street system. The national capital, is one of the few cities which has raised safety zones for protection of street car passen gers. However, if the strict sys tenr enforced in Washington, regu lat'ng the passing of a street can by an automobiles, were enforced in larger cities, traffic would be ma terially slowed down. Philadelphia prohibits parking | for longer than one hour on any | 'street in the down town section be tween 8:30 a. m. and 6 p. m. but! the ban is raised at night in some, ? streets? for the ?benefit-- of -theater-> goers. Even with the advantage of diagonal parking permittfd by Washington streets, .congestion has forced the District of Columbia au-; thorities to strict, observance of the regulations in the business district/ In Boston, where streets are nar row, fully ninety per cent of the thoroughfares In the business sec-! tlon are limited to one way traffic in ! day time. Parking on Washington) streets is held to two minutes and] on streets bordering the shopping, district the time a may be left from j 20 to 60 minutes. Unlike Phila delphia* it is forbidden in Boston to! pass a street car on the left side even on a one way street or to ap proach a standing street car closer than eight feet. In this connec tion it is worthy of note that the average speed of Boston traffic in the downtown district is only 12 miles an hour. A new thorough fare is under construction from Park Square to I South Station, which will cost many million dollars but It may be found to be too narrow to accomodate traffic by the time It is*co-mpleted. It seems to be a fairly general practice in the hub for business men to use their automobiles inter- 1 mlttently during the day to "take a chance" with the parking rules. Many say they find It cheaper to pay their fines than to obey the rules strictly and use a garage for day time parking. Pitt6burg Is another city where parking rules are somewhat freely Ignored. Parking Is, positively pro hibited in the main down town streets but the traffic police follow the practice of "tagging" the of fending car, thus notifying the owner to appear In court. The automobile owner, however, has the option of mailing a $1 fine If It Is his first offense. All parking ?paces in the center of the city are crowded to capacity throughout the day time, although a charge rang ing from 50 cents to 75 cents must be paid. The city maintains pub lic parking stations on the Monon gahela River wharf where ton cents is charged, but it is inconvenient to reach for mo?*t business men.
