HEED STOP SIGN, OFFICIALS WARN Motorists Advised that Vio- lation of Stop Regulations Will Bring Arrests STREETS ARE MARKED .THE LAKE SHORE News Double Stop at Sheridan- Lake Intersection Many motorists are not observing the "stop signs" recently placed on certain Wilmette thoroughfares by the Chicago Motor club, according to Chief Sieher of the Wilmette police. Several weeks ago the Village board enacted an ordinance designating certain streets as through highways in approach- ing which motorists must observe the boulevard stop regulation. Subsequently, the Chicago Motor club placed stop signs at the intersections plainly indicating that the car drivers are to come to a complete stop at those locations.; Streets designated by the stop signs are Central avenue from Eleventh street to Sheridan road; Ridge avenue, through- out its length in Wilmette; Sixth street and Wilmette avenues. Stop signs have been placed on Central and Ridge ave- nues, but, as yet, have not been placed on Sixth street and Wilmette avenue. Double Stop Here __ The midsection of Sheridan road and Lake avenue has been designated a double stop corner; That is, motorists approaching Sheridan road from Lake avenue must bring their cars to a com- plete stop, and those driving on Sheridan road must come to a complete stop upon arriving at the Lake avenue intersection. This provision is made, primarily, to pro- tect the heavy pedestrian traffic at that corner caused by the frequent use of the nearby Lake Front park, Country club and bathing beach, ~- ~~: Village officials announce that, after 30 days from date of this announcement in The Lake Shore JNewSjjpersons. violat- ing Th^^TopTregulations will be subject to prosecution. Aids Traffic Regulation The stop regulations have been found necessary, officials explain, because of the constantly increasing traffic on the streets indicated. Avoidance ofliccidenfs is the purpose of this ruling which is now in force in practically all com- munities where automobile ^Iraftic^ is heavy. *' -'** " "People accustomed to driving in Chi- cago are educated to observe the stop warnings," says Village Manager Schultz. "It is those drivers who seem not to be accustomed to heavy traffic con- ditions who appear to be disregarding the rules. We realize that we cannot be too strict with our ruling for the first few weeks, but after a period of 30 days, there is no good reason why any motorist in the village should violate the regulations." Campaign of Education In this connection it is interesting to note that the Automobile Clubs of Amer- ica, in conjunction with the Safety bureau of the Chicago, North Shore and Mil- waukee Electric railway, are at this time conducting a special campaign designed to educate the motoring and pedestrian public to the necessity of observing all kinds of traffic signs. A pamphlet issued recently by these agencies, under the heading "Some Safety Signs that will Save Suffering and Sorrow," contains, among other informa- tion, the following pertinent--facts and sound advice: "Mr. automobile driver--do you know-- "That there were last year 12 million automobiles and trucks registered in the United States? "That 1370 automobile accidents oc- cuf every day in the United States? "That automobiles kill 38 people every day and that of every 4 people killed, one is the occupant of the car and 3 are not? l hat you can cross every railroad track in perfect safety at any time-if- you will obey these warning signals and stop your car--look both ways up and down the track--listen for the warning be\\°r whistle--and don't take chances? ___ .-_ hat yqur Mfe-and the lives of others 'a are dependent on your thought, care, and attention, while you are driving the car, so be careful at all times, be alert and thoroughly awake every minute and pay strict heed and attention to all warn- JM' ^ignsJL- JOHN J.
