RICCARTON TRAFFIC
Report To Be Obtained Three accidents had occurred in a month at the inter- . section of Riccarton Road and Matipo Street, where lights , had recently been erected. I said Cr R. S. Lester at a meetj ing of the Riccarton Borough I Council last night. A report I on the intersection should be! I made before there was a fatal I accident. The council agreed, however. that the report should be part of one on the whole j of Riccarton Road and feeder; streets to be made by the en-! gineer (Mr R. A. E. Upston).! as suggested by the works; and town hall committee. The council approved a recommendation that more prominent signs be placed onj Riccarton Road to warnj motorists of the lights at! Matipo Street It was agreed that for his | report on Riccarton Road Mr Upston should confer with: the regional traffic engineer,! the Ministry nf Transport and j other local authority engin-j eers as necessary. The re-j port is to take into account, estimated traffic densities until the southern motorway comes into use, and is to be j in the hands of the council ! in three months.
