Police Announce
Strict Enforcement
Of Traffic Laws
Local authorities have ex
pressed concern about the mount
ing traffic and equipment viola
tions in town, it was reported
today by Chief of Police John
Marvik. It was also stated that
many of these violations involve
young people.
Enforcement officers of all
agencies have stated that due to |
the increase of such violations,
enforcement will be stricter in
future, and all motorists are cau
tioned to fully comply with local
and Territorial laws governing
vehicular traffic.
Some of the more common vio
lations have been:
1. Individuals under 16 years of
age operating with an Instruction
Permit driving illegally. Persons
with those permits must be ac
companied by another person
over 21 years of age who has
driven for at least a year with
a valid driver’s license.
2. Driving with more than three
in the front seat. This is a com
mon and dangerous violation.
3. Speeding — Excessive speed
ing above the city speed limit of
20 miles per hour, and Territorial
road speed limits, from 30 to 50
miles per hour.
4. Defective equipment: lights
and brakes in particular. Defi
ciencies in these are particularly
critical now that dangerous win
ter driving conditions approach.
5. Defective or altered mufflers
comprise another equipment vio
lation, which is common, partic
ularly in the case of some of the
motorcycles in town. There have
been many complaints about mo
torcycles with noisy mufflers,
speeding and disturbing the peace
late at night.
Persons who desire to famil
iarize themselves with Territorial
laws in regard to motor vehicles
can get the Alaska Driver’s Man
ual from the Tax Office. This
pamphlet is free of charge.
