Pedestrian Crossing Marks Could Be Improved
A general patrol had been maintained on the roads during the month, particular «?attention being paid to the' maiii highways, reported the distriot traffic inspector, Mr. D. W. S. Boyes, in his first of what will in future be a monthly report to the Levin Borough Council. The volume of traffic through the borough at weekends was fairly heavy, buit no fatal accidents had occurred and no minor accidents had come under his notice. During the month 25 drivers had been tested for their licences, three faihng, continued the report. The standard of driving was good and all applicants had a good knowledge of trafhc law. In a recommendation to the council, Inspector Boyes pointed out the difficulty of seeing pedestrian- crossing markings at night, and suggested that a more modern type of paintworki be employed. He also recommended the painting on the roadway of the 30 miles an hour limit signs at certain points. He had paid at- 1 tention to the ang'e of parking and would continue to watch this.
