Much more than in other lanes, where the operation is made difficult by the narrowness of the passage granted to vehicles, the game of car racing, which consists of drivers overtaking each other, becomes a danger and sometimes a mortal danger for pedestrians who try to cross, during rush hours, Parisian roads where one-way traffic operates.

The very serious issue of traffic, for which much has already been done, is currently preoccupying the competent services of the police headquarters.

At particularly congested intersections, optical signals have been installed. And since motorists have satisfied their initial curiosity and lost the habit of parking in front of the signals, only to admire them, these signals have been of great service.

These signals, which have so far only been established at the Sébastopol-Rivoli and major boulevards-boulevards of Strasbourg intersections, will be multiplied. Similar ones will be placed on the main boulevards, at the intersection of rue Montmartre, rue Drouot, de la Chaussée-d'Antin, avenue de l'Opéra, rue Scribe and rue Daunou.

This is not the only measure that the police headquarters is continuing to implement within the limits of available funds,
Devices with flashing headlights similar to those on rue d'Hauteville will indicate to drivers the one-way streets in which they are prohibited from entering.

While a headlight flashes at the top of the device and attracts the driver's attention, a red pane is continuously illuminated below the headlight and bears these words in white letters “No traffic. »

Around forty of these devices will be placed at the entrance to “one-way traffic” streets. The police headquarters is also considering placing a red sticker of a diameter large enough to attract the attention of passers-by on the glass of street lamps.
