CHAMBER COUNSELS EXTENDING SYSTEM OF TRAFFIC LIGHTS
Points to Success of Control on Ocean Ave. - Want Bedford Ave. Next.
The system of synchronous traffic lights not in operation on Ocean
avenue is expected to be the forerunner of an extension of the system to
other streets and avenues in Brooklyn if the proposals of the committee
on streets and highways of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce are carried out.
The matter of traffic control on principal Brooklyn arteries by this
system of lighting was first discussed by the committee with Deputy
Commissioner Philip D. HOYT, in charge of traffic for the Police
Department on April 19, 1927, following the authorization of the Board
of Estimate and Apportionment of traffic lights for a number
of Brooklyn thoroughfares.
Members of the committee held the opinion, arrived at from their visits
to other cities and attendance at State and national conferences in
relation to traffic, that the progressive control system was adapted to
Brooklyn conditions and would expedite traffic and minimize accidents.
Motorists thus far are inclined, it seems, to travel at a slower or
faster rate of speed than the twenty-two [22] miles set for through
travel without cross traffic delays. Those who gauge their speed with
the allotted rate, however, are finding the system to work out as
promised. Pedestrians are counseled to "wait a minute and save a life,"
a minute or less being the average time required to provide them the
clear passage across the street
An important point about the installation on Ocean avenue which falls in
line with the suggestions of the Chamber committee on streets and
highways which have been made to the Commissioner deals with the
lighting on Bedford avenue. [picture this] Here the present lights are
placed at only a few intersections and it is necessary for the motorist
to ride over the crosswalk to see when the light changes unless coming
in at a street where the light is placed. [Italics are mine]
The committee urges that a light be placed at each street intersection
along Bedford avenue. There are many strangers riding daily on Brooklyn
streets and coming into an avenue like Bedford avenue they have no
warning that they are going through a light controlled street on which
the traffic is moving with an implied right-of-way.
