CENTER TRAFFIC LINES SPIKED

If the center line on the pavement were spiked motorists would not drive across it. They would have too much consideration for their tires, notes the Automobile Club of Southern California. But drivers do cross the line many times when it isn't necessary, it is observed.

A thought for motorists to keep in mind is that the center line is a life line, to be crossed at their own risk. Beyond the line lies danger to yourself, to other drivers, and to pedestrians who are not expecting to see a speed ing car on the left side of the road.

Sign Thieves Get 10 Days

Sentences of 10 days each in the city jail have just been completed by two men found guilty of stealing a "Keep To The Right" sign in Los Angeles, according to a statement from the Automobile Club of Southern California warning against theft, shooting, or defacement in any way of public highway signs.

Motorists are urged to co-operate by reporting any instances of theft or damage to the highway markers to the nearest police department or sheriff's office. Public co-operation in the protection of the wide-spread sign system and increased penalty to violators of the law in this regard by the courts has resulted in a decrease in the number of signs stolen or damaged.

DON'T HOG ROAD

Motorists who are inclined to "hog the road" by driving close to the center of the road or actually astraddle the center line of the highway are being urged to think of the drivers behind them. The danger, discourtesy and unlawfulness of the "road hog" habit of driving is the subject of a statewide campaign this month by the California Committee on Public Safety.

"Your half of the road is not in the middle," is the phrase adopted by the committee for use as a slogan in connection with the campaign. The effort is being carried on with the co-operation of enforcement authorities and civic groups.
