IDENTIFICATION OF INTERSECTIONS
Lights By A.A. / The identification of intersections to an approaching motorist was desirable and the use of different coloured lights could be a useful method of achieving that, provided it was done on a national basis and without risk of confusion. This view of the roads, patrol and service committee was expressed in a report to the council of the Automobile Association (Canterbury) last evening. The committee recommended that the question be referred to the South Island Motor Union. “You will have opposition to this from local bodies,” said Mr F. W. Freeman, when the chairman of the committee (Dr. R. G. Mathieson) said the proposal waa to have the lights at all intersections. The recommendation was adopted. The president (Mr E. R. Casbolt) said an intersection could be marked by a blue-tinged light and the beginning of a 30-mile speed zone by a red lamp. Although motorists might desire the lights, the approval of all authorities had first to be obtained, said Mr Freeman.
