City May Get Long Needed Traffic Bar
City officials consider creating a traffic bureau in High Point to handle minor violations. Manager Roy S. Braden and Police Chief John A. Lowdermilk plan an office on the basement floor of city hall next to identification. The bureau would handle infractions like improper parking and red light violations, reducing court appearances and saving time, though speeding cases would likely remain in court.
