THE “OFF-SIDE” RULE
Motorists in Victoria. Australia, are appealing for the introduction of the “off-side” rule for the guidance of traffic at intersections. This regulation is already widely adopted in New Zealand, and it is likely to be made national in regulations now under preparation by the Public Works Department. The Auckland City Council was the first authority in New Zealand to embody tire “offside” rule in a by-law. France had a main road rule for many years, but this has recently been abandoned in favour of the “offside’ code, applied vice versa since the rule of the road in that country is for traffic to keep to the right. The objection to the main road precedence rule was there were complications when hoads of equal importance crossed.
