motorist when he sees a green light is the greatest of all traffic hazards according to the highways department chief sur veyor w h fulton an improperly placed traffic light can be the cause of traffic anoxia and enfcn fetal accidents the highways department keeps its hundreds of lights under con stant survey to ensure that they are doing the job they were intend ed to do in a special report to highways minister doucett recently mr ful ton outlined his findings on traf fie lights throughout the province people put too much trust in a green light he said green lights don t mean safety they rather warn us of danger a panacea for ills critics often lose sight of the fact that the real purpose of high ways is to move traffic the ui stallstion of a traffic light docs not always facilitate this move ment despite the fact that mom people seem to believe that a traf fic light is the panacea for all traffic lib especially at mtersec tions he said tostart with a fixectlime light with equal intervals each v ay puts the highway out of commission for six months of the year department experience has shown that only when certain traf fic conditions exist should a light be installed there are five war rants hch tc department checks before installation they vary ac cording to rural or urban areas density of traffic both automobile and accident hainrd rating safety alone seldom justifies an installation mr fulton said a signalized intersection is s idom a safer intersection and signal should onlv be installed after an adequate trial of less restrictive remedies world prayer day
