Five Additions To Be Proposed For Road Laws
Oklahoma safety commissioner J Gentry announced five proposed additions to the new traffic code for the 1939 legislature. They include a ban on more than three persons in the driver's seat, prohibiting trucks from carrying passengers outside fixed seats, banning riding on truck tails or outside places, adopting Michigan hand signals, and a 60 mph day limit with 30 mph night limit unless zones set higher by the safety department. He urged referral to the legislative committee and noted crashes show crowding and outside riding as key factors. He stressed the need for safer signals and speed limits ahead of four-lane highway plans.
