"V-
Park Avenue, New York, from
40th to 45th Street, offers an in-
tcrcsting object lesson to stu
dents of traffic and city planning.
A quick observer will note:
1. Rail "traffic underneath.
2. Motor;.. '.vehicular traffic
overhead.
J. " Where rail traffic is under
neath, and mo tur traffic overhead
the street is necessarily free for
the pedestrian.
In some cities plea, has been
made for elevated idewalks. Is
that practical? Are all buildings
m constructed that a second
story sidewulk or elevated plat
form would be even with the
second story of aU buildings. , I
doubt it.
The el-rated structure at Park
Avenue at 40th Street which
crosses 41st and 42nd Streets and
winds about the Grand Central
'Terminal is ornamental and that
i something that cannot be said
for most elevated structures.
The handling of motor vehicu
lar traffic on Park Avenue offers
another object lesson. It teaches,
among other things, that motor
vehicular traffic like steam and
$ n rs

B8biJ
electric cars which run in straight
lines, must do likewise; It also
teaches the old lesson that the
slower moving vehicles must
either be kept off certain streets
or else be required- to hug the
curb. .
Parking tune must be graded.
When limited to 30 tninutts it is
possible to park about four times
as xnany vehicles than when
parking time is unlimited.
Students of traffic are of the
opinion that many of our leading
cities are not handling more than
25 per cent of , the number of
vehicles they could under scien
tific control.

"SKIDDY SURFACES"
CAUSE ACCIDKXTS
Of 214 accidents caused by
"Faulty Highway Conditions," 150
were attributed to "Skiddy Sur
faces." This Is the result of an
eight months' check of motor
vehicle accidents on the public
highways of Montana. Oregon, and
Washington, tabulated by the
bureau of public roads from news
paper reports. The total number
of accidents counted was l.COfi
and to the credit of the highway
engineers, be it said that less than
fourteen per cent of these were
caused. by "Faulty Highway Con
ditions;" yet seventy per cent of
the faulty highway conditions
were "Skiddy Surfaces." In com
menting on these figures, one ex
perienced Seattle motorist says:
"Everybody around here knows
full well that concrete i3 the safest
pavement to drive on and they
know this from experience."

"The rapidly increasing divorce
