TRAFFIC CONTROL
Sir,-r-In “The Press” to-day, Varian J. Wilson complains that while he was stopped by a red light, cyclists,’ including an uniformed traffic inspector, passed him on the inner side, or left side. It is unfortunate that Mr Wilson belongs to such a large group, who do not know it is legal to pass a stationary vehicle on the left. Furthermore, it is absolutely sound practice, being the uniform procedure, in many of the larger cities of the world, and , known as “taking up position.”— Yours, etc., JOHN D. EMMETT. July 20, 1948. Sir, —You recently printed a letter i adversely criticising traffic control in Christchurch. Permit me to disagree i with your correspondent. As an experienced motorist who has covered all the territory in the South Island ; and a good deal of the North Island, ' may I say I consider the Christchurch Traffic Department the most efficient, i and its insoectors both capable and • courteous. I am not a resident of this : city.—Yours, etc., Dn. July 20, 1948.
