TRAFFIC IN ENGLAND
Big Increase on Highways Noted MACHINE SURFACING Returning to New Zealand after bis annual visit to Great Britain, Mr. A. D. Paterson, managing director of British Pavements (Canterbury), Limited, arrived at Wellington yesterday by the New Zealand Shipping Company's liner Remuera from London. Mr. Paterson’s firm has been engaged in recent years in introducing machine surfacing and honing of roads in G.'eat Britain—a method which fills the depressions in the surface while the traffic trumps it down This method gave smoother running, he said, and it was now claimed that road surfaces were live or six times smoother than previously. What was called “ribbon” building —the stringing-out of houses on the great highways—was now presenting a difficult problem in England, and efforts were being made to control it by legislation. There was tremendous activity in highway construction in England ami the traffic had become very dense. There had been a large increase in the number of vehicles using the roads.
