PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS
Sir, —Correspondents suggest an education programme .to solve the problem, but if anyone can teach sense the millennium will surely have been reached. In London, just before the war, I was impressed by the custom in which the pedestrian claimed the right of way by extending his right arm (of umbrella) and walked smartly across. He was in a weak position physically, compared with the motorist, but strong legally, and he could rely on the protection of the courts. I should be interested to know if this practice has been discontinued. —Yours, etc., OBSERVER. October 12, 1956.
