no traffic control. In rural districts
the limit la set at thirty-five mile
an hour.
It will be noted that in several
particulars these regulations are al

In force In most of the states, but
not all. Few of the statea agree on
all of tbem and ft la thla divergence
that the conference Waa minded to
eliminate In fta auggested uniform
code.
In any discussion regarding the
value of a uniform code it must be
remembered that the conference had
no power to bind any of the com
mon wealths to the enactment or the
code outlined by it. The report and
Ita resultant suggesting or regula
tions are, however, valuable aa a
step In the right direction.
No one who takes time to give
any thought to the question will
combat the principle that uniform
legislation covering traffic regula
tions la necessary In these daya of
ever increaalng automobile travel
over the hlghwaya of the country.
Many examplea can be cited ot the
unfortunate situations in which
cross-country tourists often find
themselves due to the fact that they
obeyed tba laws la their own atata,
but violated those of another In
which they happen to be. .
It waa brought out at the confer
ence that a motorist who made a
trip from Washington, D. C, to New
York violated twenty-four lawa on
hi , northward trip ' by adhering
strictly to the District of Columbia
traffic code. On the return Jour
ney by following the New York code
be found that be had violated 14
lawa. Under a uniform code In all
the states this would have been Ira
possible.
The lesson in this ia that had
there been a uniform code In force
tha motorist would have been en
abled to travel without fear of vio
lating any laws by obeying those lo
force In his own atate. It ahould
be possible for motorist who de-
airea to obey the law to travel by
automobile through all the atate
without danger of exposing, himself
to arrest because of Ignorance of
traffic laws In any atate or city
