ROAD TRAFFIC DANCERS
(To the Editor.)
Sir,—-The complaint by "Civicus" as to the nerve-racking exhausts of the council buses on the Kelburn-Karori run is timely. Private buses would promptly be dealt with if they set up such a ghastly noise, and the city authorities should conform with their own bylaws and stop this public nuisance.
■ The speed of cars up Glasgow street is also due for attention. Since this street was surfaced the motorists seem to regard it as a speedway with the turn into Upland road for "broadsiding," irrespective of the lives of the poor pedestrians who have to cross here. There is need for stringent traffic regulation on the street if a really serious accident is to be avoided. The local constable does his best, but collisions are happening too frequently. The trouble is added to by the swinging round of cars from Central terrace. The motorist mostly on his way homo wants to get up the vise without changing down his gears—that is his reason for his speed, but wh.it of the school children and those who have to cross this street on foot.—l am., etc.
