ROAD SAFETY PLANS
Experiment to be Tried
(British Official vtireless.) (Received January 14, 5.5 p.m.) Kugby, January 13.
In continuation of the campaign fo' road safety, plans are in consideration between the Ministry of Transport and one of the East End of London borough councils for an experiment on a larger scale than hitherto with guard rails between the footway and carriageway.
The suggestion is to place rails along about six miles of pavement in one of the roads with the worst record for street accidents, with openings at marked pedestrian crossings. At each crossing signal lights actuated by pedestrians desirous of getting to the other side of the street would control vehicular traffic.
