Autos to Stop at Street Corners. . . No More Collisions at Three Dangerous Main Street Intersections
Acting upon a suggestion recently submitted exclusively by this newspaper, the Board of Aldermen of Elizabeth City have taken a step which will go a long way toward the elimination of automobile accidents at three of the most dangerous corners in Elizabeth City.
Effective Monday, April 15, all automobiles must come to a full stop at the intersections of Main and Poindexter streets, Main and Road streets, and Church and Road streets. The intersections of these streets will be marked with bands of white and big letters “STOP” will remind the automobilist approaching any of these corners that he must bring his car to a full stop. This will absolutely do away with any possibility of a serious collision at any of these corners. This stop system will also make those street corners safe for pedestrians and people on foot can cross the streets at those intersections without having to dodge and scamper out of the way of a continuous stream of rapidly moving motor cars.
If the system works advantageously at these three corners, it will be applied to several other more or less dangerous street intersections. Ten dollars will be the fine for violating the new law.
