Pedestrian Crossings
Sir,—ln Christchurch, as part of a pattern of slow but very sloppy traffic, both pedestrians and motorists tend
to ignore pedestrian crossings. The pedestrians jaywalk nightmarishly. The motorists exotically weave their way through the masses. It seems to me that the solution is a double-barrelled campaign, that pedestrians must use the crossings and that motorists must respect the crossings, as they would then have some cause so to do. The new regulations incorporate recent court decisions dealing with gross negligence by a pedestrian, as when that person rushes needlessly and without warning on to a pedestrian crossing.—Yours, etc., FODIOR March 12, 1967.
