PARKING OF CARS.

REGULATION NOT OBSERVED. It is the opinion of the City Traffio Inspector (Mr H. Mcintosh) that only a comparatively small number of people have so far concerned themselves enough to become conversant with the new motor regulation, which came into operation on January let. Discussing the matter with a reporter yesterday, Mr Molntosh said that ha had that morning made a tout of inspection round the City with a view to seeing how the regulation was being observed. He was disappointed with what he saw. It is required in streets of a width of 40 feet or less where tramlines run that motor-cars when parked should be placed parallel with the kerb on the lefU hand side of the vehicle. Where there are no tramlines cars must be parked at an angle of not more than 45 degrees, and facing the kerb. The Inspector found that motorists appear to be unconscious of this requirement, as the great majority were continuing to bring their vehicles to a standstill parallel with the kerb in any street they stopped in. ~ . ". A clause in the regulation, which is causing concern to those who cannot afford motor-cars, and consequently have to depend on motor-cycles or the more humble push-bike for transport, is that which requires riders to ride those vehicles in solo fashion, pillionriding being absolutely prohibited.
