Standard Traffic
Control Urged by
Engineering P ard
Committee Made Survey in Thirty
five States and One Hun
dred Cities
Pittsburgh Standard traffic con
trol in American cities was recom
mended Oct. 19 at the meeting of
the administrative board of the Am
erican Engineering Council. Eighty
three recommendations for attaining
a standard system were contained in
a report of the committee on street
traffic signs, signals and markings.
The committee, headed by W. B.
Powell, of Buffalo, N. Y., announced
that its report was the result of a
survey conducted in 35 states and
more than 100 cities having a total
population of more than 33,000,000
The report said that elites were
endangering trifTic control by em
ploying wrong practices, adding, "it
is clearly obvious that some citie?
are making two fundamental errors
in installing street traffic signs, sig
nals and markings."
One error being committeed, the
report stated, is the placing of traffic
control devices without adequate
study of conditions which their use
ir. intended to improve, or of the
evil effects produced at some inter
sections resulitng from the attempt
to correct undesirable conditions at
one particulad intersection. Employ
ing traffic control devices at place?
and times not justified by the con
ditions was pointed out as the second
error.
"If these tendencies continue," the
report said, "the inevitable result
will be a public recognition of the
errors and a consequent neglect oi
unfriendliness toward street traffif
signs, signals and markings. This
neglect will lead to the ultimate de
feat of useful and effective methods
