1. In an action of trespass, in which it appeared that the minor plaintiff, while riding on a one-way street in a direction contrary to that provided by ordinance collided at an intersection with defendant's bus travelling on the intersecting street, it was Held that the trial judge did not err in refusing to charge that the ordinance was of no significance in the case. [5]

2. Under section 1106 of the Act of May 1, 1929, P. L. 905, as amended June 5, 1937, P. L. 1718, the local authorities have power to prohibit other than one-way traffic of bicycles as well as other vehicles. [5-6]

3. In this case, it was Held that an ordinance providing for one-way traffic regulated bicycles. [6]

4. In this case, it was Held that a posting at the north side of each intersecting street of a south-bound one-way street was proper posting within the meaning of section 1106 of the Act of 1929, as amended. [6]
