' . T)u> number of cars and trucks in operation on this side „r llic AtlanUc- runs into the millions, every ^one of them ...... PovcM'ing*'TlSilsands of miles annually, and^each weighs any- Ihiii.r between nearly half a ton and three or-four tons. Cap- able (>1' s])ceds up to ninety-fiye miles per hour,^hey are seldom ili ivon at less than twenty-five mil6s an hour through crowded citv streets, suburban roads lined with houses containing ' naniv i hiklren, and long country, roads where .naturally speed- " in'jr i.s the order of the day and night. Although having the ;,s))CL'(i ami killing capacity of a limited train, they do not run. " on i'oadway specially,reserved for them and are dependent' for i)i'oper directibn on human steering instead of steel rails. Uiuler such conditions it stands much to the credit of car • owners and drivers that more accidents do not'occur;, There' . are, of course, some m otorists who are a menace due to natural carelessness or liquor, but the great majority of them > are ■ considei-ate and humane and' do not at'.any time drive to the common dangdr of pedestrians or other motorists. The main problem is the striking, of a true balance be­ tween public safety and road space. ' A , maximum speed of ' twenty-live miles per hour would mean for'all practical pur- __ poses X̂ Mfety for_pedestrians_aad motorists alike, but. wj.th the number of cars in use would inevitably result ' in such - traffic .jams everywhere except in little travelled countryToads as-would eliminate the auto as a means of . transport entirely. It was thought that ipereased speed was the solution,- and the tendency of late years has been in this .direction, . eighty-live 'rxiijos per hour, for instance, being the minimum speed allowed-in'the fa st traffic lanes on trunk highways in , / th e United States. With the same object in view the speed • capacity of all cars wasi increased b y ' their manufacturers. , The result has been the fearful annual Casualty lists from, motor accidents. ' . ~ What has' been oyerlooked -iŝ the fact that any speed ~ over fifty miles an fioiir is 'a s dangerous 'to the driver ^s to ^.^the general public, both _ m otorists and pedestrians, because "^e-idightest-sndtiem=swerve^oir:sudden-diard^ra-k4ng-^t^ueIi speeds is liable in m ost instances to result in a loss of.control 2ld^laiannnfei"e::xegained^:;^Then-nat«mUy^herC-hh^ lision increase out of all proportion to the. iricrea^ in speed. However, -speed -has become - a.-fetich' with .civilized marnfyTodaj^^Wcon'segulmlly^^^^ ■ reduction in the present rates of motor travel will be made, f The solution, i f solution-there be, w ill probably be sought i Tn the construction or reservation "of trunk Tiighways for the use of motor traffic dnly, and possibly in .th e forbidding of the most crowded downtown streets in th e largest cities to the-private car.
