“KEEP TO THE LEFT”
LESSONS FROM A LARGER CENTRE The injunction “Keep to the Left” is but indifferently obeyed bv pedestrians in Wellington. In Christchurch overhead signs are used to remind the public of their sidewalk obligations, and in Wellington an occasional notice by the wavsiSe gives half-hearted emphasis to the bv-law. In Sydnev they have a brusquer way' of enforcing the law. All constables on street duty make a point of walking along the centre of the footpaths, and with bands and voice insist on people keeping to the left, with the result that there are, in the more crowded streets, two distinct streams of pedestrian traffic—one to the right and one to the left. Even Sydnev is not perfect in this respect, but the action, of the police, day after dav, is forcing the rule of the footpath into adoption better than all the signs.
