"The advisability of the pedestrian walking on the right-hand side of the road (where there are no footpaths) was brought before the association's notice as the result of an accident at Springvale," says the annual report of the Wanganui Automobile Association. "In this case a man walking on the left-hand side of the road was run down by , a motorist. The magistrate, in commenting on the subsequent action for damages, stated that it was a custom in ancient days for the pedestrian to walk on the right so as to be facing approaching traffic. The association solicitors advised us that, in their opinion, the matter could not be dealt with by statute law, but suggested that the Motor association should endeavour to establish a custom for the pedestrian to walk on the right-hand side in New Zealand, and a remit to this effect was submitted to the annual conference."
