PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS
MARKING QUESTION DECIDED MAGISTRATE GIVES RULING (By Telegraph.—press Association) WELLINGTON, Thursday In a reserved judgment the magistrate, Mr J. L. Stout, holds that it is not a tenable defence that an authorised pedestrian crossing was not authorised because it was not indicated by a black and white post each end. An authorised crossing was one marked in accordance with the schedule, and the requirement to erect posts and lights was something additional brought into effect after the crossings were authorised. Motorists would still have to observe any crossings adequately marked on the road, the magistrate added.
