Pedestrian Crossings
Sir,—‘The Jtoad Code said a pedestrian is safe on a pedestrian crossing, as drivers must give way to the pedestrian on his half of the crossing," but Mr Kiddey advises the pedestrian to be sensible and courteously wait for a gap in the traffic. If the Road Code is right then there should be no exception. Waiting for a “gap" may mean the passing of nine or 10 cars without one car waiting for the pedestrian. Walting on corners lacking crossings may mean a whole block length of outward-bound cars and buses and some few homeward-bound pedestrians held up indefinitely. —Yours, etc., SPECTATOR. July 17, 1959.
