"JAY WALKERS"
SYDNEY 15th November. Action is being taken in Sydney, following a move made in Melbourne, to make "jay walking an'offence against the traffic regulations. "Jay walkers," for those who are innocent of the term, are people who cross crowded streets diagonally, between the regular ciossing E laces, and in most cases with their acks partly turned to the line of vehicular traffic: The feeling of drivers of vehicles, is that, while the "jay walkers" are allowed to wander across crowded city streets at any place arid any angle, without any check on their movements, the police campaign against motor traffic is a litle unfair. Motorists say that natural-born. fools among pedestrians are responsible for most of the motor smashes. "Jay walking" is certainly dangerous.' One has only to witness it in crowded thoroughfares like Pitt street and George street to appreciate it.
