“I am coming to the conviction that compulsory stop signs, instead of ‘Major Hoad Ahead’ signs, will have to he erected oh side roads which carry little trailic and where the visibility is bad,” Jald Mr. G. Laurenson, Commissioner of Transport, at a meeting in Christchurch of the executive of the South Island Motor Union. Mr. J. S. Hawkes contended that the “Major Road Ahead” signs had no legal significance and would lull tourists from England into a false sense of security when, on the highway, they approached au intersection; and Mr. Laurenson admitted that New Zealand had no major and minor roads, the right-hand rule being operative at all intersections.
