Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 194, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 17 August 1915 — Crossing Sign Posts to Guard AH Vehicle Drivers. [ARTICLE]

Crossing Sign Posts to Guard AH Vehicle Drivers.

“Keep to the Right.” “Go Slow.” If automobile and other vehicle drivers will follow the injunctions prominently established by the sigri posts in the center of the principal crossings in the business section there will be small chance of accident. Cross armed guide posts with the warning above given have been placed at the intersections of Washington street with Cullen, Van Rensselaer and Front and there should be no occasion for violations ofter the public gets accustomed to the right course to pursue and all seems embodied in the two phrases, “keep to the right” and “go slow.” The base of each sign is filled with dirt and foliage of flowering plants will be placed in each. These signs are used in many places and are-proving a good thing. Some cities not much larger than Rensselaer are enforcing the square cut rule for pedestrians and not allowing them to go diagonally across the street at intersection points. Indianapolis was one of the first cities to enforce his rule. Frankfort is one of the smaller cities to adopt it.
