SPEED RESTRICTION.
OPPOSITION IN CANTERBURY
Per Press Association
CHRISTCHURCH, June 13. In a resolution criticising the speed limit of 40 miles per hour on certain sections of the Main North Road, the Canterbury Automobile Association states that the North Road, from the golf links beyond Kaiapoi, right to the Ashley Bridge, can be traversed in a high-powered and properly equipped motor car with perfect safety at 45 to 50 miles per hour, providing the driver slows down at intersections and any other place where the condition renders it necessary. With such caie there cannot be any danger to the public, merely because the driver travels along a straight and unintersected stretch of bitumen or concrete even at 50 miles per hour.
