TRAFFIC CONTROL.
LONDON'S DEVELOPMENTS. LONDON, August 15. Experience' with various systems of automatic traffic control lights has led to the development of a new inter-linked system, providing improved, progressive working during rush hours, and greater elasticity, with less delay, at other times. The manufacturers recently approached the Westminster City Council with an offer to modify without further charge the system previously installed for the length of Regent Street, so as to secure the advantages of the "repeat pulsing system." When the alterations are made, it will be possible to pass a much greater volume of traffic through the area at a considerably increased speed. The Ministry of Transport has approved the proposals. Should it be decided later to instal automatic control signals at Piccadilly Circus, the apparatus now to be supplied would make the scheme there much simpler to design and set up.
