UNIFORM SPEED LAWS SUGGFJTED BY SURVEY Revampin8 of OMolete_ Laws Essential, Declarea Er6ine, Reaeareh Bareaa &pert The time has 'Come when definite consideration must be given to minimum as well as to maximum speed limits in Chicago and all communities within the Chicago automotive area, says the traffic committee of The Chicago Association of Commerce which has just finished a comprehensive survey of traffic conditions. While condemning excessive speeds even under favorable circumstances as well as malicious disregard for safety on the part of the driver, the survey cites the 10 mile an hour ... dragger" on a 20 mile an hour roadway as the cause of traffic delays and in some caees serious accidents. After studying the volume and speed of traffic on scores of Chicago streets as "··ell as on highways that connect the larger city with stiburban communities and after securing accurate information on slow drivers who hold up traffic, Miller McClintock, the director of the Albert Russel Erskine bureau for traffic research who conducted the local survey says: "Uniformity of speed is a very important factor in regularity of traffic and regularity and smoothncs~ of flow assure~ \·otunw which Chicago and many growing s uburbs need in view of the increasing- use oi m(){or vehicles. Drivers who insist upon holding up tratli c to a snail -lik e pace of f1\'t: or ten mile s an hour on important st reds should he subject to some legal prodding. \-Vhen strec·ts are filled with \'chides tiH~ slow driv er regulates the speed ui all flowing traffic and by hi s sclftshness or carelessness often delays hun<ln·<l ·. Slow drivers also are un\\'ittingly the cause of many accidents h\' making it nece ssary for overtaking ·motorist s to cut around." The· sttr\'c\'. points out that somewhere between the excessively slow driver and the dangerous speeder is the middle ground of sensible traffic flow and to determine where this mid dle ground is has. been or~c of th.c tasks of the traffic engineers 111 ma~mg t~c Chicago suncy.

That immediate standardization of speed regulation is needed in Chicago and the adjacent region is the belief of the traffic committee as this region is operating under old laws which need to be adapted to the changed traffic conditions. r r·· t 'mJmen and Children is P.rovided in the Oiicf!fo Passenger· · Terminal CHICAGO & NORTH WESTERN kY. provided for women and in this magnificent terminal.
