Pedestrian Crossings
Sir, —All that need be said about the question that started this correspondence is in the Road Code. In red print, denoting that it forms part of the traffic law, we find on page 19: “Before coming to a pedestrian crossing, slow down so that you can stop if need be. Give way to pedestrians on your half of pedestrian crossings they have the right of way.” The caption, also in red print, to an illustration showing a car approaching a pedestrian crossing and a pedestrian approaching on the other half, says, “Driver can proceed. The driver does not have to stop for a pedestrian on the other half of the crossing.” Why cannot the traffic superintendent admit that motorists have this right?—Yours, ” VARIAN J. WILSON. March 26, 1965.
