New Highway Signs Must Be Learned
RALEIGH-Highway signs
-those painted metal
instructions that tell drivers
what's ahead and what they can
and cannot do?will undergo a
radical change during the next
three years in North Carolina,
and in the other 49 states as
well.
Signs carrying printed words
will give way to signs showing
symbols, and the motorist is
going to have to learn what
those symbols mean if he is to
drive intelligently and safely.
It's all a part of an attempt
by the Federal Government to
standardize signs all over the
country, and to do so the
Department of Transportation
has adopted a modified version
of the international road signs
for use in the United States.
This will be no small task in
North Carolina, where an
estimated one million signs will
have to be replaced. But it isn't
going to bankrupt the state
treasury because there isn't
going to be any mass movement
to take down the old signs and
put up the new.
Rather the state will adopt
a general policy ol
replacing 1 a sign that wears
out or is shot up by vandals

North Carolina, widely
known as "The Good Roads
State", has the largest state
administered highway system
in the United States. There are
almost 74,000 miles of state
roads here, almost enough road
mileage to circle the earth
three times.
i seen any of these lately?) with
uneof the new symbols. Some of
this has already started and
more and more of the new signs
will be seen in the weeks and
months ahead. The state has
until 1974 to complete the
project.
There is a definite safety
factor in the project to change
the signs, if the experts are
correct. Motorists, they say,
can react more quickly to a
symbol theya understand than
they can to a'sign that carries a
printed message, saving maybe
three or four car lengths at 55
miles per hour.
Some of the new signs won't
be any trouble to recognize.
The old sign that says
"School Crossing" will be
replaced by a pentagonal sign
with a picture of two children
Wildcat Club
Reorganized
The Andrews football
Booster Club, The Wildcats, is
planning its activities for the
coming season.
Everyone is urged to be on
hand for their first meeting July
20th, at the Vocational Building
at Andrews High School for the
announcement of plans
crossing the highway. Only
signs dealing with schools are
pentagonal.
Motorists will have to learn
that a sign showing a red circle
means "don't do that". For
instance, a sign with an arrow
curving to the right but with the
red circle and slash imposed
upon it means "No Right Turn".
If it shows the slash, circle and
a U-Turn sign, it means "No U
Turn".
A sign that says "Deei
Crossing" will replaced by a
symbol showing a bounding
deer. A sign that says "Hill"
will be replaced by a sign
showing a truck going down a
steep incline.
And so on.
The actual work of
replacing the signs will be
under the supervision of the
Traffic Engineering
Department of the StaU
Highway Commission, bul
many other state agencies will
be involved.
The Department of Motoi
Vehicles, for instance, which
gives tests to driver's license
applicants, will have to revise
those tests to include the new
symbols. *
And there will have to be 1
huge educational program ag
the part of the state, with tH
assistance of the news medi*
to see that the motoring publif
becomes familiar with the new
driving guides. ?
But when the job i;
accomplished, a driver will be
able to travel the length and
breadth of the nation and set
the same highway symbol}
everywhere he goes. ,
