PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS
The need for better supervision of pedestrian crossings was stressed at the annual meeting of the Automobile Association (Wellington) by the president (Sir Alexander Roberts), who referred to the question as vexed. He said he felt that even yet the pedestrian crossing problem had by no means been solved. Although he was an ardent and regular car driver, every day. at lunch time, he took up the position of a pedestrian. He would like to stand on his pedestrian rights when he was a pedestrian, and he thought that a good many of the crossings should have better supervision during the busy periods—the lunch hours, from 8 a.m to 9 a.m.. and from 4.30 to 5.30 p.m. A little more supervision. Sir Alexander thought, would be very beneficial both to drivers and pedestrians He understood that regulations were in process of being framed for dealing with the problem, and he sincerely hoped they would be what was required and that they would be put into operation as early as possible.
