"Cleveland lias been experimenting with a. change in its traffic light sys­ tem which dispenses with the amber light, The improvement with'’the use of only the red and green signals has been so good in the congested district that the change is being * made throughout the city. A marked re ­ duction in the number of accidents and traffic ordinance violation is claimed for this system. “I f the amber light were so rigidly respected as the red and green light* there would be few accident*. But it is n?t. The impulse of many drivers approaching a street intersection is to keep on when the green light is show­ ing and finish the crossing under the amber light. They regard it as a few seconds pf grace. There is the same impulse to start with the amber light after the car has been halted by the red light. Pedestrians have the Same thoughts and follow the practice. “Consequently 'there are frequent clashes between machines and pedes­ trians, and when two strong-willed in- dividhals meet accidents sometimes follow because both are' satisfied they have the right of Way. When only red and green signals are used Cleve­ land ha* found that a great deal of this traffic light rushing and crowding is prevented. “The amber light, properly used and respected, is a safeguard. I t means a brief pause preceding the change of signals. It should be so respected.
