STOP SIGNS AND TRAFFIC LIGHTS
Progress League's Letter The dangers of lighted shop signs being confused with traffic lights and railwaycrossing lights was discussed by a meeting of the Christchurch Metropolitan Road Safety Committee last evening. A letter from the Canterbury Progress League mentioned the dangers of the lights causing confusion, and cited Riiccarton road as an example. Shop lights were easily confused with the railwaycrossing lights in Ricoarton road when vehicles were •ravelling east, the letter said, and they also caused i ~nfusion with traffic lights further on
“The remedy is not readily apparent, but It is considered sufficiently importanit for it to engage the attention of your committee.” Mr D. L. Hogan, the district officer of the Transport Department, said that short of reserving green and red for traffic signs only, he could see no solution. He certainly would not suggest that this be done. The committee decided to refer the matter to the Riccarton Borough Council for its comments.
