HATAITAI TUNNEL
Complaints by Motorists
Complaints concerning conditions for traffic in the Hataitai Tunnel were discussed at an executive meeting of the Wellington Automobile Club last’ night. It was decided to approach the City Council with regard to some of the problems. Tlie present lighting was not. sufficient, it was stated, yet there was a certain amount of dazzle: indirect lighting would be a considerable improvement. Members agreed that the scheme of using whitewash to improve visibility in the tunnel had not been a great success. Allowing cyclists to use the tunnel, it was stated, had caused considerable danger to other traffic. Most stress was placed upon a discussion of tlie question of electrician® using ladders to replace lights in the tunnel. The chairman, Mr. E. A. Batt, said that this should be done at no time other than in the early morning hours. "In the last week or two there have been men there on ladders, while the traffic was at its height,” he said. "On one occasion there were two of them working on opposite walls. It is extraordinary how the men get through the job wiMiout being mixed up in an a-cident.”
