TRAFFIC IN CITIES
“Control May Be Tightened” (N.Z. Press Association) WELLINGTON, Nov. 12. More stringent traffic control may be necessary in city areas to promote traffic flow, says “Transport in New Zealand," a Transport Department survey released in Wellington today. The publication says the control measures would be needed to help avoid traffic congestion which costs the country an estimated £3O million a year. “These measures could mean off-peak and night deliveries of goods, plus freetransit lanes in city streets reserved for the exclusive use of buses, a heavy reduction in the parking of cars at the kerbside and the increased use of parking buildings,” it says.
The document also deals with moves being made to provide motorways to help speed traffc flow, and comments: “No matter what remedial motorway systems are built or what other steps are taken, the economic justification of these measures is plain when the country faces a prospective estimated loss of £3OO-350 million in a 10year period.”
