Defines Traffic
LI oi ~tBeitef 4s,
By KARL KESSLER
The placing of traffic lights at in-
tersections where conditions do not
warrant their use, is a definite cause
of accidents and a menace to safety,
Prof. R. L. Morrison, of the highway
engineering department, said yester-
day.
Extensive investigations made by
traffic engineers show that an in-
tersection must meet certain mini-
mum conditions before the instal-
lation of a stop and go light will be a
positive safety factor. First, the vol-
ume of traffic must be at least 1,000
cars per hour for eight hours each
day, and second, the cross traffic
must carry not less than 25 per cent
of the total traffic through the in-
tersection.
"Those signals which meet these
rec'-irements," Professor Morrison
qualified, "should be operated only
when traffic is heavy enough to war-
rant their use. At all other times
they should be used as an amber'
blinker. This is preferred to turning
them off entirely," he explained,
"since it avoids confusion among
drivers."
Unnecessary traffic signals, he
pointed out, usually, increase the
number of accidents at an intersec-
tion.
One Day Left To Enter
Radio Script Contest
Only one day remains to enter the
radio script contest which offers a
prize of $25 for the best 45 minute

Broadcasting Service, warned yes-
terbay.
All scripts must be turned ,in to
Morris Hall by tomorrow. The win-
ning program or parts of it will be
broadcast nationally, March 18, over
the Columbia Broadcasting System
in commemoration of the anniversary
of the founding of the University in
Ann Arbor.
