"Gentlemen, we are going to need
an ordinance regulating traffic when
this now signal system goes mto ef-
feet."
When City Attorney J. Bouldin Rec-
tor mentioned this matter to the city
council Thursday morning, it started
an argument that lasted for nearly an
hour, and in the end nothing deinite
wAh accomplished except to confiag
the minds of the council members si ill
morn as to the method of handling tho'
traffic with the signal lamps placed
on the far corners of the street.
The matter of permitting left band
turns caused the main discusslon.
Commissioner Searight maintnined
that left hand turns can be made
against a red light, while City At-
torney Rector Insisted that such.conld
not be done.
Newspaper men who, had seen the
system in operation in Dallas, Han
Antoni and other cities then ex-
plained their ideas and informed tho
council that left hand turns can be
permitted only by special legislation
of the city council. Then it dawned
on the councilmen that an ordinance
must be passed to enforce the
traffic law or thorn would be endless
confusion.
"One city offteal told me that nit
you needed was an ordinance telling
people to stop when the red light is
flashed and go ahead when the green
light is flashed.'' Rector declarod. In
the midst of the argument
offie l als , forgot all about the amber
colored tight that warns pedestrians
and motorists alike that the lights
will switch colors a moment later.
At any. rate. City Attorney Rector
faces the task of formulating an ordi-
nance that will take care of the truffle
situation in Austin when the new sig-
nnl system is placed into operation.
Whether left hand turns will bo
permitted on Congress Avenue against
a red light will be one of the prob-
lems that Mr. Rector will be called on
to solve when he drafts the ordinance.
» Austin motorsts and pedlestrinns
will be confronted with a rather pe-
culiar situation when the new signal
system starts operating. The motorist
will be compelled to look across tho
street to see whether ha is running
against a red or a green light, duo
to the fact that the directing light
has been placed on the far corner.
To avoid setting back the parking
space Incident: to putting the light on
the near corner, the city officials have
placed the lampposts on the far cor-
ner.
In San Antonio, the directing light
is placed on the near corner, and nil
motorists must come to ft stop back of
the parking line in case the red light
flashes while the car is still back of
the line. In Dallas, the center sus-
pension system with four-faced lamps
is used, and only one lamp guide all
the traffic. This makes the parking
lines uniform on all corners.
