TRAFFIC CONTROL.
ELABORATE SYSTEM STAEffED IN LONDON. TRAFALGAR SQUARE PROBLEM. RUGBY, April 3. What is probably the most elaborate example of automatic traffic control in the world was inaugurated in Trafalgar Square, London, to-day. Traffic control by light signals is rapidly extending in London, where every week about 12 new system are installed, but owing to the 'large number of streets converging on Trafalgar Square and the fact that it is traversed by about 6000 vehicles daily the new system is the most ambitious yet undertaken. The unique feature of the new system is that traffic actually controls itself according to its need by means of detectors laid in the roadway. The system, which cost £2347 to install, will replace 16 police hitherto engaged on point duty in the Square.—'(British Official Wireless.)
