THE PEDESTRIAN.
Proposals for Control of Traffic. (“Star” Parliamentary Reporter.: WELLINGTON, July 24. Power to make regulations to control pedestrian and other traffic in relation to motor traffic is included in the suggestions made by the Transport Department for the amendment of the motoring laws. This follows the steps taken in Great Britain recently in the amendment to the Road Traffic Act more particularly with regard to crossing places for pedestrians. As is commonly known, a large percentage of motor accidents involve pedestrians, and in the majority of these cases the accidents occur where traffic is dense. Experience gained in other countries shows that, despite increased numbers of vehicles there has not been anything like a corresponding increase in accidents where pedestrians have been involved in areas properly regulated with set crossing places.
