BEHAVIOUR OF TRAFFIC
CHIEF INSPECTOR'S COMMENDATION The orderliness of the Christmas holiday traffic in Christchurch was remarked on yesterday by the chief traffic inspector (Mr J. Bruorton). He was pleased to note that although most large towns in New Zealand had had serious motor accidents during the holidays, Christchurch had so far escaped them. Motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians had willingly co-operated with the inspectors in their work of controlling traffic at a difficult time, said Mr Bruorton. The movement of traffic had been more orderly than usual, and drivers appeared to be becoming more considerate for the rights of others on the road. Pedestrians also deserved particular commendation. Groups on the footpaths had always been ready to break up when asked to move on. There had been less congestion than in previous years, although the crowds had been large. At the railway station there had been a noticeable improvement in the behaviour of holiday crowds.
