London’s idea of safer streets was mentioned to a “Post” reporter by Mr. A. Anderson, of Lower Hutt and Petone, who has just returned from a trip abroad. He quoted figures issued by Scotland Yard and published in the' “Daily Telegraph,” which showed that in April, May, and June, 1931, 35,410 street accidents had occurred in London, causing injury to 15,140 people and death to 345 people. The question was asked: Were London streets getting safer? because the figures for the same three months in 1932 were: Number of accidents, 31,032; persons injured, 14,012; persons killed, 273. “Pedestrians form again by far the largest class of victims, while drivers are the occupants of motor vehicles are the smallest,” says the Daily Telegraph.
