Canterbury A.A. Gives Attitude On Zoning
Press Association reports in Christchurch newspapers yesterday might have created a wrong impression of the Automobile Association (Canterbury) attitude to speed zoning, said the president (Mr J. R. Maling). The Canterbury association for a long time favoured the introduction of specifically graded speed limits instead of limited speed zones. When definite proposals in this regard came from the Commissioner of Transport the association’s council expressed complete agreement. Mr Maling said that over the intervening period, the association had supported Transport Department recommendations for the introduc-
tion of 40 m.p.h. speed restrictions wherever these were found justified under the standard formula used by the department “Some confusion has arisen because of the fact that at its annual conference in September, the New Zealand Automobile Association, decided to advocate the retention of limited speed zones on the grounds of their flexibility and, at the same time, to urge an increase in the speed limit in built up areas from 30 to 35 m.p.h. “Although in the minority group on this topic, the views of Automobile Association (Canterbury) remained unchanged,” said Mr Maling.
