Park Commission rule on left side traffic condemned
The men said the rule requiring machines to take the left side of Commonwealth avenue between Arlington street and the Leif Ericson monument is confusing, unnecessary and futile. They urged returning to normal traffic regulations with motorists keeping to the right at all times to prevent danger and damage.

Why Commonwealth avenue left-hand rule may be unsafe
Arguments for left side traffic on Commonwealth avenue fail to justify keeping the rule near the Ericson monument. Dust concerns fade with road oils, cross-street hazards persist as cars travel abreast, and drivers drift toward the curb. Officials warn of imminent crashes unless motorists switch to right-side driving.

The article reports motorists and garage managers urging a return to keeping to the right at the Commonwealth avenue danger point to prevent fatal accidents. Leaders from White, Motor Mart, Winton, Autocar, and Peerless garages fear left side rules create hazards and advocate restoring natural right side driving to improve public safety.
