LITTLE ROCK ARKANSAS
November 23, 1931
Hon. Mayor and City Council,
City of Little Rock,
Little Rock, Arkansas.
Gentlemen:
A short time ago the Engineers Club of the
City of Little Rock designated a committee to investigate
some possible improvements in the traffic regulations,
particularly on those streets that are served by the
traffic lights and where there seems to be quite a great
deal of uncessary congestion and a revision of the rules
covering the movement of traffic at the corners where these
lights are installed.
It has come to the general notice of the members of
the Engineers Club that in practically all cities and towns
where traffic lights are used, automobile traffic is
permitted to turn to the right while the traffic light
shows red. This seems to us to shorten many of the delays
caused at these points without any particular danger to
pedestrian traffic. JVhile we know that pedestrians in
Little Rock have been educated in the past to the fact that
motor traffic will stop on the red light, we feel that with
just a little additional education that pedestrians can be
soon taught to watch these corners in crossing particularly
if motor vehicle traffic is required to first stop at the
red light, and then move ahead to the right into the side
streets.
We desire to bring this matter before you for your
prompt consideration and hope that you will give it some
attention, so that the traffic on Little Rock streets will
be brought more in line with the general customs in other
places and will be speeded up very much more than it is at
the present time.
