SAFETY ON THE ROADS
CAMPAIGN IN ENGLAND (British Official Wireless) RUGBY, January 13. (Received Jan. 14, at 5.5 p.m.) In continuation of the campaign for road safety, plans are under consideration by the Ministry of Transport and one of the East End of London borough councils for guard rails between the footway and the carriageway. The suggestion is to place the rails along about six miles of pavement in one of the roads with the worst record of street accidents, with openings at marked pedestrian crossings. At each crossing signal lights actuated by a pedestrian desirous of getting to the other side of the street would control vehicular traffic.
