"Danger Sound Klaxon!
Ik R. Fisher, director of the High
way -Sef ety Division of the North
; Carolina Department of Motor Vehic
les, cites the present obscurity of this
once-familiar highway sign as an ex
ample of the rapid growth of our sys
tem pf traffic signs and signals during
the past 35 yeiurs. .: f:A
. "Motoring in America he said, "!'
a perfect example of an innovation
that grew too fast for its own britches.
We had the vehicle before we. had
the roads to accommodate it; by the
time we started getting enough roads,
other difficulties were rapidly being
created.": . '
One of the chief handicaps plaguing
the pioneer motorist according to
Fisher, was the absence of directional
and warning signs on existing high
ways.
The widespread boom in the con
struction of inter-state arteries pre
ceding World War I, however, speed
ed installation of such signs accord
ingly. "Ironically," Fisher said, "this rap
id outcropping of traffic signs was al
most as much of a curse as a blessing.
Shapes, sizes, and colors of the signs
were left to the discretion of the local,
state, or county authorities, and of
ficial imaginations ran wild."
' The amasing strides that have been
made in the standardization and use
of traffic signs and signals are being
emphasized this month by the North
Carolina Department of Motor Ve
hicles as part of its August program
of traffic safety education.
"Standardization of traffic signs and
signals was the only solution to the
confusion that resulted from the early
hodge-podge of the vari-shaped and
colored road markers," Fisher said,
"but the present degree of standardi
zation has still failed to reduce acci
dents as much as it was originally
envisioned." i
Reliable, and wisely engineered,
signs and signals are useless, if driv
ers ignore them. As proof that this
is the case, the North Carolina De
partment of Motor (Vehicles, reports
that, in 1949, out of 720 fatal acei-
us in this respect by ignoring them.
