TO REGULATE TRAFFIC
"8TOP" AND "GO." (From a Correspondent.) SYDXF.Y, January .is. One of the latest, American eonlrlvances for the control of street traffic was given, a trial to-day a 1 Market and I George Streets intersection. JI, is a prominent iron standard, on one side "Stop," and on Die other "Go," which occupies the spot where Hie traffic constable usually stands. It is controlled by a handle by the constable. Tile device was brought from Detroit, America, by Superintendent Y,<\war, Sydney's traffic chief. It is an aid principally to Die [raffle* constable. The standard can be used also at, I nighl lime, when green and red lights are shown. It. is claimed (hat the standard will | greatly minimise the arguments a traffic constable has daily with horse drivers and motorists, and that it will mean instantaneous dealh to the old and worn-out excuse of "l didn't seo your signal." If [he trial is satisfactory the contrivances will lie placed at the principal cornel's where constables are employed.
