SAFETY OF PEDESTRIANS
GUARD-RAILS ON STREETS NEW SCHEME IN LONDON (Received October 8, 6.6 p.m.) British Wireless RUGBY, Oct. 3 The Minister of Transport, Mr. L. Hore-Belisha, is making negotiations with local authorities concerned for providing as a,safety experiment pedestrian guard-rails on either side of the main road on a stretch of highways three miles long in Stepney and Poplar. The experiment is on a much bigger scale than any of the kind hitherto attempted, and is a development of a plan for introducing such guard-rails at busy crossings. One effect of the scheme will be to restrict pedestrian crossings to authorised places, and it is hoped that it will check the praotico of pedestrians stepping carelessly off the footways.
