Signal lights, in the synchro-
nized and expanded traffic sys-
tem here in Ennis, today were
being installed on both Main
Streets at the Southern Pacific
railway, at its intersection of En-
nis Avenue.
These lights, together with
others in the system, will be put
into operation tomorrow.
“There doubtless will be a
few 'bugs’ in the signaling at the
tracks, “right at first,” said
Kenneth E. Smith, city manager,
“but these will be eliminated as
promptly as possible.”
He explained:
"At all times when trains are
crossing the intersection, there
will be a different cycle, with
arrows denoting the movement.
This will be something for the
public to get used to, but they
soon will become familiar with
it. Otherwise, it will be the usual
stop-and-go signals.”
Concerning the lights at Kauf-
man and Avenue, which is the
intersection of Highways 75 and
287-34 he made this explanation:
“The left-turn arrows install-
ed there are to give protected
movement of traffic, and foal-
low the left-turn traffic to ‘have
a little bit of an advantage in
the matter of time. But, of cour-
se, people can still make left
turns there on solid green light,
but they are not protected from
approaching traffic. The solid
green light can be used for right
or left movements, or straight
ahead.
The installation now7 in pro-
gress will complete the signal-
ing program,” which is a part
of basis for future growth.
