Excerpt from Street Traffic Control
The alarming increase in street accidents and in street congestion during the past few years has rendered the correction of traffic conditions one of the most important municipal problems of the present day. This book has been written in the hope that it will be of assistance to those who are trying to solve this problem. I have attempted to analyze the causes of existing street traffic difficulties, to summarize the experiences of the greater American cities, and to present the conclusions of the fore most practical experts.
While preparing this work for publication I have had the advantage of the counsel of Professors William Bennett Munro, and Arthur N. Holcombe of Harvard University. I am also indebted to the public officials and others who assisted me in making a survey of street traffic conditions in the principal American cities.
