Telephone 13 UNIFORM SPEED LAWS SUGGESTED BY SURVEY Revamping of Obsolete Laws Essential, Declares Erskine, Research Bureau Expert The time has come when definite consideration must be given to mini- mum as well as to maximum speed limits in Chicago and all communities within the Chicago automotive area, says the traffic committee of The Chi- cago Association of Commerce which has just finished a comprehensive sur- vey of traffic conditions. While con- demning 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 cases serious accidents. After studying the volume and speed of traffic on scores of Chicago streets as well as on highways that connect the larger city with suburban com- munities and after securing accurate information on slow drivers who hold up traffic, Miller McClintock, the di- rector of the Albert Russel Erskine bureau for traffic research who con- ducted the local survey says: "Uniformity of speed is a very im- portant factor in regularity of traffic and regularity and smoothness of flow assures volume which Chicago and many growing suburbs need in view of the increasing use of motor ve- hicles. Drivers who insist upon hold- ing up traffic to a snail-like pace of five or ten miles an hour on import- ant streets should be subject to some legal prodding. When streets are filled with vehicles the slow driver regulates the speed of all flowing traffic and by his selfishness or carelessness often delays hundreds. Slow drivers also are unwittingly the cause of many accidents by making it necessary for overtaking motorists to cut around." The survey points out that some- where 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 one of the tasks of the traffic engineers in making the Chicago survey. In discussing this question of minimum and maximum speed and Chicago's speed laws, Mr. McClintock stresses the fact that the state law governing speed limits in this city and neighboring communities has been antiquated for ten years. The maximum rates according to the law specify 8 miles per hour at ob- structed corners, 10 miles per hour in the closely built portions, 15 miles per hour in residence portions and 20 miles per hour outside closely built up por- tions and residence districts of towns and cities. "These restrictions," says the traffic survey, report of the Association of Commerce, "were obsolete ten years ago, yet Chicago is technically gov- erned by them. Should the police of Chicago attempt to enforce them liter- ally traffic would be seriously handi- capped. Their chief service is to per- mit technically inclined public officials in some of the small cities in the Chi- cago automotive region to levy un- warranted toll upon the motoring pub- lie. The survey points out that a fur- ther technical restraint rarely if ever enforced is laid upon Chicago motor- ists by the rules of the Ridge Park district which prohibits the operation of motor vehicles at a rate of speed in excess of fifteen miles per hour. 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.
