Description | We announce to all carriage drivers that it seems that most of them disregard the recommendations and drive faster than the allowed speed. This leads to collisions and harmful accidents. In order to prevent any harm, we ask that from now onwards that they genuinely moderate their speed especially in congested areas and at turns and crossroads. So whoever among the carriage drivers disobeys and receives a fine from the police or the municipal inspector, will have to pay the designated legal fine the first time. The second time, he will pay two times the amount and the third time he will have to pay the penalty and he will lose the right to exercise the profession of carriage driver. To warn about the violation and make it known, these directions were published on the 29th of Tammûz (1)316 (11th of August 1900). [5 signatures] |
