SIDELINE MARKINGS
Road Board Investigates (Parliamentary Reporter) WELLINGTON, Sept. 30. It had been National Roads Boa d policy for some years to provide sideline markings on all motorways and state highways with a width of 24 feet of seal or more, replied the Minister of Works (Mr Allen) to Mr B. P. Macdonell (Opp., Dunedin Central) in Parliament today. Mr Allen said the board was conducting experiments into the effectiveness of such markings on highways less than 24 feet wide and it was justified in continuing these investigations. United States claims that sideline markings had reduced fatal accident's by 50 per cent in some parts did not refer to the narrower classes of highways. Mr Macdonell had suggested that in view of the United States claim, the. National Roads Board should stop experimenting and implement the markings generally.
