TRAFFIC IN PARIS

Police Prefect Alfred Morain has just published his general traffic ordinance for Paris. It is the summary and culmination of all the laws that have been applied in Paris since 1789.

Police Prefect Alfred Morain, with the help of his colleagues, among whom we should mention Messrs. Guichard and Berthier, has just published his "General Ordinance Concerning Traffic."
This Ordinance is a colossal work, not so much because of the number of its pages (192) or its articles (296), but because every line of these 296 articles must be read carefully and pondered religiously by all those interested in these articles—motorists, public transportation drivers, drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians—if they truly want to be aware of the laws regulating traffic in Paris. It will no longer be a matter of feigning ignorance, under the pretext of some vague, unknown insertion in the Official Bulletin. It will be a matter of being aware of the 296 articles of the Ordinance if one wishes to travel in the capital and the municipalities located in the Seine department.
We do not claim to reproduce the Ordinance here in its entirety. We do not even intend to publish its main articles, as they are all equally interesting. We do not even intend to list the 15 laws, orders, articles of the Code, provisions of the Code, decrees, ordinances, or official decisions to which Mr. Morain's said regulation refers.
