REDUCING TRAFFIC NOISES.
As a moans of educating unthinking motoring offienders, the League for Loss Noise in New York some months .ago tried a special campaign with the assistance of the police, who took ovei 100,000 green slips, printed by the league, to be handed out to motoiists who sound their horns needlessly. The slips read: “Please help Mayor La Guardia make New York City a safer, quieter and pleasanter place in which to live, to do business and to visit. It is illegal to sound an automobile horn here, except as a danger signal after or as brakes are being applied. Besides, unnecessary noise doesn’t get you anywhere. If your car has brakes a little patience and courtesy will make the horn unnecessary.” The policemen handed out these slips as needed, and some benefits resulted in making motorists aware of the senselessness of the racket that many of them make. For this is a campaign to increase neighbourly conisderation for the benefit of all.
