Angle Parking And Buses

Angle Parking And Buses

Sir, “Indignant Citizen,” with tongue in cheek and for reasons obviously of his own hides behind “old people, frail people, and mothers with little children,” to perpetuate the farce of the buses in Ridgway Street. However, this story is not good enough, and the usual stop on the intersection of the Avenue and Ridgway Street will cater for the class whose welfare is the concern of your correi spondent. Nobody would expect anyone to walk from, say, Ingestre Street, to | catch the bus at the Post Office, so I why walk from the Post Office to I Taupo Quay? Naturally we would expect the usual Avenue pick-up areas the same as the tram system, which by the way did not find it necessary to park the trams in Ridgway Street. Positive proof that Wanganui’s traffic and parking rules are hopelessly out of date, can be seen any busy clay, with buses backing into cars, cars knocking cycles in all directions, and bumpers and guards taking an awful bashing. In fact only yesterday I, with a number of others, witnessed a woman driver clean up six cycles leaning against a post, while trying to get into a space on a half-pie sort of an angle.—l am, “ACTION PLEASE.”
