Berlin Police Officers
BERLIN, Dec. 19.—Berlin is having
a hard time putting through its new
traffic regulations which for the most
part are patterned upon American
models. In fact this capital in which
cabinet crises are so frequent as to
be uninteresting, is now developing
into what may be termed a traffic cri
sis. Next to campaign news the dis
cussion pro and con of the new regu
lations for vehicles and pedestrians
occupy most space in the daily press.
The difficulty seems to be twofold:
First, the lack of discipline of the pe
destrians and, second, the unorgan
ized admixture of pushcarts, autos,
electric cars, busses, bicycles and
horse drawn vehicles in the streets.
The Berlin pedestrian regards it
as his inalienable right to cross the
street wherever he pleases. He will
throw himself into the confused jum
ble of vehicles of every description
in the middle of the street and insist
upon crossing without waiting until
he reaches a street intersection. Un
til the German can be taught to bow
to the same rules when he is out
walking as govern his progress when
he is riding, the enforcement of traf
fic regulations will be rendered illu
sory.
