TRAFFIC CONTROL
NEW SYSTEM TO BE TRIED IN BRITAIN
(Australian Press Association.) London, November 2.
'Tlie “Daily Express” says that the Home Office is formulating a new scheme of traffic control, abolishing the police ns traffic controllers, and forming instead a corps of 5000 road guards, later to be increased to 10,000, the cost to be borne partly by the Slate and partly by local authorities. The road guards will consist chiefly of ex-soldiers, ex-sailors, and ex-policemen. Motorists should benefit, as the guards will be stationed at many dangerous cross-roads, where they will also be relieved of the duty of making an elaborate report on every trivial motor-car accident, which is valueless, except to motor insurance companies.
