Stop Signs Wanted
Sir,— Why are there no compulsory atop signs in Harakeke street? It is becoming a daily occurrence to hear a resounding bang and on investigation to discover smashed and upturned cars in all directions, and later to see the breakdown van chugging past
dragging a battered ruin. Perhaps when the accident rate is increased to two a day something may be done.—Yours ,etc., PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE. September 8, 1959. [The Town Clerk of Riccarton (Mr R. Sarjeant) said that the majority of accidents at this intersection were caused by careless and inconsiderate drivers who did not obey the elementary rules of the road. Such drivers might compel the council to erect stop signs in an endeavour to protect other road users. The council had already requested a report from traffic officers and it was expected that this report would be submitted to the next meeting of the council.]
