Thus, ap proximately T90 feet is required to bring the car to a stop providing the driver is the average in ability to act and that his brakes are In first class condition. Less than one half this distance however, is found in actual practices and should a driver attempt to maintain an In terval of 190 feet on fairly crowd ed highway the chances are he would soon have another driver pas sing him, and the distance of the interval ahead of him cut in two.

The above diagram illustrates the absolute restrictions which the 1927 legislature has placed on parking outside of business and residence districts. The required clearance iqust be left, a vehicle must not be parked on the highway under any circumstances except where such vehicle is so disabled that it can not be moved or in the case of an emergency vehicle when an era- ergency exists which necessita tee the violation of the provision. Parking outside of the business and residental districts has always been a problem in Oregon. Our road system is probably one of the finest in the world considering the miles of pavement per capita. This means that while the Highway Com mission and the counties have been unable to completely surface the whole highway, they have done a wonderful work in paving the main travelled portion. In many cases this paved portion is only eighteen feet wide. Even eighteen feet of width isn’t bad when one considers that many states have only fifteen and sixteen foot pavement. We have beautiful surroundings, in Oregon, our people like to visit in the country and occasionally it becomes expident to stop the car and get out, leaving the car park ed. Under the law as it formerly read, some authorities interpreted the law to read that a car could not be parked if any portion of it was on the paved or tr». veiled portion of the highway. This interpretation seemed unfair and the Legislature passed a law (Rules of the Road 19 (b) forbid- ding the parking vehicle, whether attended or unattended, upon the paved, improved or main travelled portion of the highway, when it is practical to park it off such por tion of the road; and in no in stance unless a dear and unobstruc- W* Sfcon...£e way opposite such standing vehicle shall be left for free passage of other vehicles nor unless a clear view of such standing vehicle may be obtained from a distance of 200 feet in each direction upon such highway.

Safety experts have figured that it takes a distance of around 500 feet for one machine to safely paia another going in the same direction, particularly where the road is eurv- . ed or up a grade. Based on these ’ figures and the fact that the vis- ; started in making paths, as time passed these paths became roads and man became a pedestrain. All went well with man and hi» roada until the advent of the motoY-ve- hide, then a dispute arose as to who should have the paramount right on these roads, the pedestrain or the horseless carriage. One line of authorities said that the pedestrain was here first and the right of crossing the road when, wished belonged to him. Another line said that the motor-vehicle was an important unit in the chain of commerce and that as such unit, it was more important in the scheme authorized to move the vehicle or of things than the individual ped- compel anyone in it to do so. >estrain. The battle wages and will Traffic lanes are new, novel and continue to wage, but in Oregon interesting intricate. The Hoover conference recommended them, the traffic departments of many cities are strong for them and the Oregon State Motor association, in conjunc tion with the other groups forming the Oregon automotive conference, brought them to the attention of the last session of the legislature of Oregon. The legislature passed the follow ing law on the subject; "8 (a) Ex cept as otherwise provided in this section, the driver of a vehicle In tending to turn to the right at an we have solved a part of it by intersection in the lane for traffic adopting, at the suggestion of the nearest to the right-hand side of Oregon State Motor association and the highway, and in turning shall the other agencies forming the Ore keep as closely as practicable to gon Automotive Conference, the the right-hand eurb or edge of the Hoover Committee recommendations highway, and when intending to on this point.
