New Highway signs, symbols now appearing Highway users in this area soon will be seeing new traffic signs, with more symbols and fewer words, according to High way Department District Engi neer R. W. Jones. Department maintenance per sonnel are preparing to erect the new signs in areas where older ones are wearing out. The new signs, which will ap pear nationwide, are designed to help drivers get a quicker understanding of the road si tuation. Thus, they should help improve highway safety, De partment officials believe. Among the signs that will be changed are the “yield,” “do not enter,” “low clearance,” and “slippery when wet” signs, along with those that prohibit certain turns or warn of ani mals crossing the highway. Until motorists become ac customed to the new signs, a small plaque will be posted be low each one, explaining its meaning. Drivers should not look for all signs to be changed over night. The conversion will take place gradually and is schedul ed to continue through 1974. As old signs need replacing, they will be replaced by their new counterparts. “The new signs have been carefully designed to help mo torists and make travel safer,” a Highway Department official pointed out. “Of course, we don’t expect everyone to be fa miliar with all the symbols im mediately, but we are providing written signs along with the new signs until we all have time to adjust to them. Hope fully, with public cooperation, the new signs will be another step toward safer, smoother traffic.” Jasper Chapter meets Friday The Jasper Chapter, DAR, will meet on Friday afternoon, December 8th, at 4:00 o’clock at the home of Mrs. J.
