LONDON TRAFFIC
LIGHT SIGNAL SYSTEM.’ [BRITISH OFFICIAL WIRELESS.] ' RUGBY, December 14. . London’s traffic control has undergone a gradual transformation through steady extension of the traffic lights system. Two years ago, only 30 such installations were in operation, and 18 of these were concentrated in Oxford Street. Now the number within the Metropolitan area is approximately 370. Some criticism was directed at the authorities for the degree of caution they displayed in extending the system, but the result of their policy is that London is now equipped with a light signal system far in advance of that used in other great ciftes. Meanwhile, the system is steadily being extended, and the traffic is working with smoothness and celerity which mark a great advance on the previous conditions.
