TV system criticised
A closed-circuit television system to control peak traffic flows in Christchurch; was "quite extravagant’’ fori a citv of this size. Cr B. J. Britten told the works and traffic committee on Wednesday. But Cr D F Caygill said that such a system, if it worked. could be one alternative to widening citystreets to handle traffic problems. Expensive motorwavs could be the onlv other answer. "This would not reduce the demand for motorwavs.” Cr 1 Britten claimed. The council shares costs of the svstem with the Ministry of Transport and Christchurch Transport Board.
