Crossing will not get traffic lights
Parliamentary reporter The pedestrian crossing on the Main North Road north of Daniels Road will not be replaced by traffic lights, says the Minister of Transport, Mr Gain. He was answering a question in Parliament by Mr M. K. Moore (Lab., Papanul). The joint committee of engineers from the Ministry of Works and Development, the Ministry of Transport, and Waimairi County had said that to replace the pedestrian crossing with a
signal crossing would impede traffic and increase injuryaccidents to vehicle occupants, Mr Gair said. It could increase the cost of installing traffic signals on the Main North Road, north of Daniels Road, which would be about $20,000 for a signals pedestrian crossing, or about $25,000 to $27,000 for signals at the nearby intersection. Annual running costs would be about $l5OO for the pedestrian signals and $lBOO for intersection signals, he said
