What reading level is The Principles of Urban Traffic book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Were there no speed limit, and a sane man allowed to use his discretion as to a suitable speed for driving, much more moderation would be shown by motor drivers, and fewer accidents would result.
Again, in order to keep traffic to the side of the road, the authorities obstruct the centre, and so on. The obvious result is to make the existing congestions worse. When a street becomes so crowded that speed is impossible, it is time to remove obstructions, not to create fresh ones. That this is par...tially realised may be the cause of having living instead of inanimate obstacles in the shape of police, who are stationed in the middle of an otherwise clear road, presum- ably to control unruly traffic and keep it to the sides, or in its proper place, wherever they may think that to be ; to perform, in fact, the work of an inanimate structure with something of the majesty of the law in reinforcement.
The policeman, even in traffic, has a much higher function than that. We have shown that as little of him is wanted as possible, but there are occasions and always will be when his presence and control is necessary.
