Evolution Of N.C. Auto Laws Traced By LYNN MS BET. I fai I.\ IMspatcn Burra it Raleigh, Feb. 19. -The current is sue ol "Popular Government.* monthly magazine published by the Institute ol Government at Chapel Hill, feat tin s a story by Assistant Director .John Blair tracing develop ment < J state laws governm;: opera tion of jtt dor \ chicle-. The first statewide act .governing u <e of public highways was in 1 Sin i when a law wa pa ed making it illegal to ride a horse or drive any vehicle at speed luster than ;• vvalr. across any bridge over T> feet m length. Prior 1«» 1005 most regula tion was left to counties, hut that year the legislature enacted a law applicable only to Mecklenburg county regulating auh»mboilc traf fic. Hater in the same -e.-sion other counties were given the* right to adopt similar regulations with maxi mum s|jeed limit ol 20 miles an hour. Several counties thought that loo fast and reduced speeds 1" six miles in business districts, not over fif teen in the country. First comprehensive statewide control was enacted in 11)01). This act was modeled after the original Mecklenburg law. but imposed a maximum sliced of 25 mile.- an hour, with limit of eight miles in busi ness districts. In 1935 the present limits ol 20 miles an hour in busi ness districts and 25 miies in resi dential portion.-- of towns were fix ed. Not until 192d did the state exer cise any control over motor vehicles used to haul persons or freight for hire*. It was in 192a also that super vision of state registration of motor vehicles \va> transferred from the secretary of state to the department of revenue, where it remained until 1941 when tin* present department ot motor vehicles was established. The driver’s license act was pass ed in 19.'to and has not been mate rially amended since, and many drivers are now operating' under au thority of license's issued ten years ago. Blair confesses inability to give a comprehensive review or moditi cation of statute's affecting use o! motor vehicles because there are more* than 200 of them.
