HAVE UNIFORM
TRAFFIC LAWS ON
ALL HIGHWAYS
Present Chaos Must End
When the Nation
Builds Roads
Traffic laws which differ in dilfei
ent States and different towns in tin
same State, are a cause o fconfusion,
arcwlent, loss of property, and lo«
of life. Uniform traffic laws, tin
same the country over, will promot.
safety.
The objeition urged aguiit&l uniform
traffi. laws that tiallic conditions ait
dilfei -lit in different localities, doe
not i old in the fact of the ohviou
powe of the locality to modify o.
add to the uniform law for specia
conditions. There are many ohn
vances which, made uniform, woul
make for safety, shch as tlie syeten
of signalling for a stop* slow up ai
turn, a uniform rule as to right
way it crossings, safely procedure a;
grade crossings, a heavy penalty foi
,-uch dangerous practices as pnssinj
another car when coming- t« a c'jrvi
or top of a hill, etc.
With forty eight states and thou
sands of municipalities, all 'making
their own traffic rules, the motorist
is more or less at sea as to wfra'
he can and con not, shoud and shoul.
not do. But when the nationa gov
eniment builds roads for the nation,
a national tragic law will lie inevit
able as a national police force foire
for the national highways.
"A paved United States in our day"
is not only devoutly to be wished fo'
because of the material benefits i
will bring, but because of the safet;
the uniformity of traffic rules wiJ
