Automobile Signs for Local Streets

In a short session last night city council considered routine business and informally discussed the sort of street signs to slow up reckless drivers on the street corners are of the most difficult. Corners are navigated at 25 miles an hour the driver of course taking his life in his hands and menacing the lives of people who might happened to be using the crossing. A sign about two and a half feet high, properly placed, will act as a brake, it is thought.
