Specific standards ior protecting

there some other hidden motive?

The report oi the special committee
at made these recommendations to
the Association stated that accidents
at crossings have increased 1.000 per
'.ccnt in the last five years in some
parts oi the country. This has been
due largely to the increased use at
the automobile. it is with the view
of standardlalng the crossing signals
throughout the country in order that
automobile drivers might have ample
warning when approaching a crossing
that the Association has taken this
step to make all warnings similar in
every state. The circular disc with
the word STOP” in large letters withi
a contrasting background to make lti
stand out in bold reliai will cllmlnotel
the complaint that dogs. which are
new general] used. do not give the.‘
drivers sumo cntly clear indication
whether the ilagman is urging them
across or trying to stop them. This
discwillbebeldaplnthemlddleot
the highway to warn vehicular andi
pedestrian tralllc. l
The "caution approach" sign will
serve to remind drivers that there
is a railway Mg 000 or soc toot
ahead. At night the same color light
will be used at or crossings sum
there may he no misunderstanding as
to the meaning oi such signals.
