The Wellington Automobile Club finds it; difficult to understand why pedestrians make such a practice of walking on the road to their own danger. On it recent evening when the weather conditions could not well, have bt'en worse, two pedestrians cut a corner and walked immediately across the black bitumen roadway, when for the matter of a few seconds they could have remained on rhe perfectly good footpath. Ir seems that the pedestrian who is not a motor-car driver does not realise how difficult it is for the motorist. even at n slow pace to pick up a dark, moving figure on a wet and black bitumen road. The club suggests that pedestrians should adopt the slogan, “Keep to the Footpath.” and the.city to use recognised street crossings for pedestrians.
