Traffic lights
Sir.—l am writing for the installation of traffic lights and a pedestrian crossing at the perpendicular corner of Blenheim and Wharenui Roads. I walk across the four-lane Blenheim Road into Wharenui Road every week day. After departing from my afternoon bus which travels down this freeway I often have to run across a lane to avoid fast-moving cars, either travelling on Blenheim Road or driving into a lane from Wharenui Road. Last week I witnessed a very serious accident that could have been avoided if traffic lights and a pedestrian crossing had been installed. Surely, we do not have to wait until someone is killed for this corner to be made safe for both drivers and pedestrians.—Yours, etc..
M. CONNOLLY. August 3, 1981.
