CHILD'S PLAY REGULATION OF
AUTOMOBILES. /
Hr
if
m
S'.
The state of California is warring
against glaring and illegal headlights,
following a period of prosecution and
license-revoking of careless drivers.
The example of California can be
followed throughout the country with
better results than are obtained from
state legislatures debating on the ad-
visability of Adopting compulsory au-
tomobile liability insurance laws as a
means of protecting the public. En-
forcing our present laws will assure
greater safety to pedestrians and driv-
ers than will the passage/ of more
laws to relieve careless automobile
drivers* of financial responsibility for
their own reckless acts.
If state legislatures want to pass
new laws, why not establish uniform
traffic rules and signals in every town
and state throughout the country.
At the present time no two sets of
road signs or signals are alike in dif-
ferent cities. As an example, take
Portland, Oregon. Certain streets will

have yellow stop signs and posts near
curbing. Then, without warning, a
driver will come to a sign in the pave-
ment which says “stop.” Nine chances
to one he will never see it because he
will be looking for the yellow signal
at the side of the street. On other
streets he will find an automatic elec-
tric signal with red, green and yellow
lights located at the side of the street.
At another intersection he will, with-
out any warning, come upon a electric
signal suspended some 25 feet from
the ground in the center of the inter-
section. Under such conditions a
driver’s attention is constantly divert-
ed from the traffic before him in an
effort to find the traffic signals, and
thereby obey the law. Similar con-
fused conditions exist in most cities.
What is to prevent adoption of
.painted signs or electric signals of
uniform design which are always to
be located, at the same position at
street intersections? Why should the
state Jughway guide posts in Oregon
be white, while they are yellow in
California? Why should the stop
signs for through highways in Oregon
be yellow, and stop signs put up by
the same highway department for a
railroad crossing, white? Why should
not all danger signals on highways be
of one color? *
Why pass innumerable laws, ordi-
nances and rules to confuse drivers,
and then expect to reduce accidents?
Accident prevention is equally impor-
tant in all parts of the country. Then
why not have uniform signals and
regulations?
Most automobile traffic regulation
up to date is child’s play compared
with the simple but effective signals
which govern all the railroads in the
country.
