TRAFFIC CONTROL.
Sir, —After spending some time ,in Great Britain and eight countries in Europe I consider that we, on the whole, should be proud of our local traffic control system and how it is worked. The white lines on the footpaths, the “cat’s eye” reflectors on the roads, and the chains at some street corners are in accordance with the latest ideas abroad; and we’ve seen ; nothing better in any country. Perhaps if we obtain the service of Lon-don-trained constables, to train our men at the street corners on point duty, our men might be less tired at the end of the day, as those in London certainly have the knack of handling traffic easily, with little effort. If this were done, it might then be advantageous to give our men the status of police constables.—Yours, etc., x E - cholerton. March 8, 1950.
