“Are there no traffic inspectors in Dunedin?” demanded an irate visiting motorist who called at the “Otago Daily Times” office the other morning. He had motored through New Zealand, calling at nearly every town
during the last three months, he stated, and he had no hesitation in saying that Dunedin was the worst of to drive in. Not only did cars travel along the middle of the road at a ridiculously slow speed, giving no consideration to those who wished to pass them, but bicycles suddenly appeared trem nowhere on the wrong side of the road, and “jay walkers" sauntered across the streets giving no thought to approaching traffic and even conducting conversations as they went. “I have been in this town for a week,” he added, “and I have yet to see a traffic inspector."
