ROAD AND STREET CORNER OBSTRUCTIONS.

To the Editor of. the 1 'Timaru Herfild."

Sir, —In view of so many accidents at street and road corners, particularly with motor # vehicles at level crossings and roads intersected by cross streets, I have not seen any move being madp to remedy these dangerous .places. The "Waimate County Council have dene' good work by removing gorsc fences and erecting post and uire so that the public can see apnroach'ing traffic' Take Wai-iti road for cxampje. , ."Fences six to eight feet liigli- obstruct the view of traffic coming' in an opposite direction. Only to-day the writer was crossing .frori a b.V-street when a. car driven at from twenty-five to - thirty mi'es an hour flashed, bv. "Furious driving, the reader will sav. That docs not alter the fact of these dangerous corners "We hav9 legislation for m-my purposes. "Whv not legislate for all corners rf roads and ■ streets to be rounded off, and fences to 1- p sloped-to give a view of train" cominf: in an opposite direction I hope that this letW will arouse some sympathv for those whn in the --ourse pf thpir dailv work of motor driving face these risks. The dreaded cornc- at the fool of Wai-ili mad by the Bay viaduct is still unaltered. — I am, etc.. STEADY DRIVER.
