COMPULSORY STOP SIGNS
EXPERIMENT BY CITY COUNCIL
Compulsory stop notices on roads crossing main outlets from Christchurch beyond the belts but within the city boundaries (as approved by surrounding local authorities) will not be adopted generally bv the City Council, but application will be made to place signs experimentally in Innes road on each side of the Cranford street intersection. It was stated at the council meeting last evening that Cranford street now carried a big volume of traffic and the open road ahead tended to make this intersection dangerous. “The main disadvantage to the introduction of the major and minor road system at the entrance to roads such as Lincoln road and Ferry road is that on race days or on important football fixtures at Lancaster Park, traffic desiring to cross and which might normally have the benefit of the right-hand rule, could be delayed for some time,” the committee said. “This situation could easily apply in the case of a doctor on his way to an urgent case.”
