TRAFFIC INQUIRY.
PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, November 11. The efficacy of the pedestrian crossings, of which 0000 have been laid down in London streets as a means of reducing the number of accidents, is questioned by a committee representative of all classes of road users appointed last year to advise the Minister of Transport. The crossings are marked on the roads by sunken steel studs, and their positions are indicated to motorists by "beacons" erected on the pavement. The committee is understood to have recommended the suspension of the work pending an inquiry. The recommendation is being considered by the Ministry of Transport.
