“STOP” AND “GO”.
NEW traffic sign. DEVICE FROM AMERICA. Sydney, Jan. 18. One of the latest American contrivances for the control of street traffic was given a trial to-day at Market and George streets intersection. It is a prominent iron standard bn one side “Stop,” and on the other which occupies ..the spot where the traffic constable usually stands. It is controlled, by a handle by the* constable. The device was brought from Detroit, America, by Superintendent Edward, .Sydney’s traffic chief. It is an aid principally to the traffic constable. The standard can be used also at night timej when green and red lights are shown. It is claimed that the standard will greatly minimise the arguments a traffic constable has daily with horse drivers and motorists, and that it will mean instantaneous death to the old and worn-out excuse of “I didn’t see your signal.” If the trial is satisfactory the contrivances will be placed at the principal corners where constables are employed.
