Driv_ ing tests made by the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads show that the average motorist drives his car bv instinct, habitually steering from- one and 011e-hali feet to four feet from the edge of the pavement, according to reoorts made of the tests by the American Motorist s' association in conjunction with The Automobile Club of Illinois. It \\'as found that the average motorist will sacrifice a safe clearance hetv\·een hi · 0\\'11 and another vehidc rather than get closer to the edge. The tests showed that in moving d ,,·o n a light grade, traffic moves further over to the center but on a steer grade stays closer to the edge. This is explained by the fact that a light down grade does not suggest to the motorist a reduction in speed and he proceeds at an increased speed, but instinctivc lv move over towards the center. On a steep grade he reduces speed and stays closer to the edge. White concrete shoulders at the edge of a black surface proved to he tf1e hest lure to keep an instinctive driver near the edge. Center lines on the pan' ment rank second as engineering solution towards safety in driving. c- alled sa.fety committees and life-saying organizations.
