Drivers Taught To Obey Lights
Oak Hill July 24 Education of motorists to the meaning of street traffic lights has been started by Police Chief Ben Bibb and his patrolmen. At first the chief tried to attract motorists attention to the light by stationing himself on one side of the road junction and Assistant Chief E G Fitzwater at the other side. When a motorist ran the light one or both officers would sound a whistle. Now they have employed a sign painter to place warning signs on the pavement away from the light and two large stop signs at each side of the light. Chief Bibb will stand nearby and point out the light to motorists who stop before arresting offenders.
