TRAFFIC RULES

See map on pages 6-7 for main thoroughfares and highways leading in
and out of the city.

A booklet containing all traffic regulations is available at Police Stations.
Traffic signs, usually in the form of a white arrow with black lettering,
appear on all streets throughout the city. They indicate prohibited turns,
one-way streets, no-parking areas, play streets, etc.

SIGNAL LIGHTS. (1) Green means "go." (2) Red means "stop."
(3) Red with green arrow means traffic facing such signal may make the
movement indicated by arrow. (4) During all red or dark period drivers
shall not start. (5) When light turns red drivers shall stop at nearest inter-
secting street (applies to most main thoroughfares).

TURNS. (1) Complete ("U") turns are forbidden in many downtown
and midtown streets (signs indicate these areas). (2) Right and left turns
shall be made on a green light only. (3) No turns are permitted on a red
light except when permitted by police officer or sign.

SPEED LIMIT. (1) 25 miles per hour except where signs permit
greater or lesser speed. (2) 10 miles per hour when turning corner.

ONE-WAY STREETS. Most cross-town streets in Manhattan and some
thoroughfares in other boroughs are for one-way traffic only; signs at in-
tersections show direction of traffic. In Manhattan even-numbered streets
are usually for eastbound traffic and odd-numbered streets for westbound.

PLAY STREETS. These streets are set aside for children to play in; no
traffic is permitted except vehicles having business in such streets. Signs at
either end of block indicate such areas.

PASSING STREET CARS. Vehicles are prohibited from passing street
cars on the left except when directed by police officer, or when on a one-
way street, or when tracks are so located as to prevent driver from passing
on right.

EIGHT-FOOT LAW. Vehicles must stop at least eight feet behind rear
of street car which has stopped to receive or discharge passengers; if safety
isle signs are in place where street car stops, vehicles may pass between
signs and curb.
