'state to correspond with that in Ore gon, where the calendar year is also the license year. The meeting today in Portland is the A solution of downtown congestion, the result of two years' study, has been filed with the city council by the ad visory park board and the city plan ning commission. It shows that the Steel, or Railroad, bridge does not carry . its due proportion of traffic. It proposes circuits which will divert from the congested center traffic destined to other parts of the city. It emphasizes the need of a traffic plan based upon the multiplied use of automobiles. Safety to pedestrians, motorists and property is impossible without adjust ment of traffic routing, the report de clares. New bridges are proposed. The report continues: "It has become necessary for economy, safety and convenience to divide all streets into three general classes accord ing to use, each with varying regulations. width and plan of Improvement, to meet its specific needs. These classes of streets as now generally accepted in other cities are : First Major traffic streets and thor oughfares, which . should be 80 to 100 feet wide ; I Second - Boulevards and parkways, which should be 150 to 200 feet wide or wider ; Third Minor residence streets, which may be 40, 50 or 60 feet wide, and gen erally need to be paved with only 20 feet roadways between curbs. The major traffic street plan and boulevard system plan for Portland have been prepared with these distinc tions clearly in mind. The smaller outlying business centers will be stabilized and protected by hav ing the major traffic street system per manently established. culmination of a long period of agita tion for a uniform code of traffic laws, rules of the road, and lighting provis-sions. A general convention of traffic officers San Francisco the last week In August, 1920, where committees with special tasks were appointed to draw up recom mendations for a general legislative com mittee. These committees convened In from all over the country was called in ! Cleveland, December 8, 1920, where a code in brief was recommended and dis tributed to" the motor vehicle divisions of the several states. Coincident with this meeting in Cleveland secretaries of state for Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana met recently in Portland and drew up a set of rules of the road and recommendations for equipment which has been given wide consideration-. It was this code which was considered in detail yesterday at the Benson hoteL FEW ALTERATIONS MADE Few changes were made in the original draft. The joint meeting, which Was presided over by Representative A. M. Wright of Oregon, chairman of the roads committee, took up the rules of the road and voted on each provision separately. The first important change in these rules came when the system of arm sig nals which has become familiar to every motorist was changed as follows: Left turn Arm extended upward, with the vehicle at decreased speed ; right turn : arm out, forearm up verti cally at right angles to the upper arm ; stop: arm extended, and moved up and down in a vertical plane. .The next change from the present rules was to make it unlawful for a mo torist to leave his car unattended with engine running or so unsecured by brakes that there was danger of the car getting in motion and damaging lives or property. ! SPEED LIMIT REMAIN S In1 regard to speed, the members of the committees agreed to leave the limit at 30 miles an hour, in spite of the Cali fornia limit of 35 miles an hour. Three speed limits were adopted, 12 miles an hour in cities in the vicinity of schools, 20 miles an hour in towns and cities and 30 miles per hour on the highways of the state. It was also agreed that an interval of M hours might intervene between the time of an accident and the time for re porting to a constituted authority. In regard to equipment, the committee decided that every motor vehicle; must be provided with two brakes, acting in dependently, either of which must be in such condition that the speed of the car may be prudently and carefully con trolled thereby, in tne case or motor cycles, one brake i3 sufficient, j A test chart requiring a motor car traveling at a certain speed xo oe brought to a stop in a certain number of feet was not agreed upon, and it will probably not be included in the law when drafted. 's The universal lighting law, as recom mended by the general traffic officers' committees in Cleveland, and substan tially the same as is now in effect in California, was adopted by the com mittee. LIGHTING PROVISIONS This provides for no lights to be in excess of 4800 candlepower, focused be low 42 inches from the surface of the road at 200 feet. Mirrors were, decided upon as com pulsory equipment on motor vehicles to insure vision to the rear, mechanical signalling devices were recommended as necessary on cars where an arm ignal is impossible and speedometers were de cided upon as necessary instruments on all motor vehicles except motor trucks so mechanically governed as to be un able to exceed a speed of 30 miles an hour. The provisions regulating pedes trians on state highways, such as walk ing and playing, was discussed but de feated as a recommendation. As the final touch to a day of per spired effort to frame a law that would meet with the approval of legislatures in five states, it was moved by Repre sentative Korell of Oregon that all pro visions and recommendations agreed upon by the committee be drawn up in detailed form and sent to the proper committees in the five states affected, and that the work of the day have the approval of the joint committee. This motion was passed unanimously. AGREEMENT GENERAL The code of regulations passed yester day agree in fair measure with the code as passed by the Traffic Officers com mittees, and approved by the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce, the National Automobile Dealers' associa tion, the American Automobile associa tion, the Motor and Accessory Manu facturers' association, the American Rubber association, and the Trailer Manufacturers' association. Prominent in an advisory capacity at the meeting yesterday , were : M. O.
