RIGHT-OF-WAY
AT INTERSECTIONS THE BRITISH DECISION. In view of the varied opinion held by traffic experts on the subject of "off side’’ road preference, it is interesting to note that recently the Ministry of Transport, England, had this matter under discussion, nnd the question as to whether traffic coming from the right should bo given the right-of-way at cross roads, was decided in tho negative; in other words, it was not approved, and it was recommended that the existing rule that main-road traffic, has preference, shall stand. It was proposed that a sign bo erected at points where two important roads cross each other, and that it shall bear tho word "Halt” to warn tho driver on tho secondary road: also that a white line bo drawn across tho by-road.
It is essential in the interests of all road users that motorists should realise that it is absolutely necessary for safe driving, for the person it tho wheel to look both to the right and to the left, before crossing a main road or any other road, irrespective of regulations.
