Three-Lane Main St. Tried Out - A city experiment to determine what effect three-lane traffic on S. Main St. would have on traffic movements was conducted today. Pylons were set in place from Huron to William and temporary white paint was placed on the surface to indicate lane widths and left-turn movements. A promenade for these three blocks of Main St. is planned which will necessitate three-lane traffic, the promenade jutting into the street some 10 feet. Feasibility of switching Main St. traffic onto other streets is being studied. Officials of the Police Department said the experiment caused some problems this morning because of the abrupt change from four to three lanes of traffic at Huron and William.
