DOMINION HIGHWAYS
EQUAL TO -BRITAIN’S OFFICER’S 'IMPRESSIONS (For Press Association.) AUCKLAND, this day. “New Zealand traffic control is a compromise between that of England and America,” said Mr. It. E. Champtaloup, touring manager of the Automobile Association (Auckland), in an interview, on his return from an eight months’ tour of America, Britain and Europe. He said lie considered the Dominion’s highways system compared favourably not only with overseas countries of similar size, but that the main roads under the jurisdiction of the Highways Board were equal to many of the main highways of Britain. Modern road-making provided two lanes of traffic divided by a grassed strip in the centre of the road. At important intersections the cloverleaf system of planning, which was removing the dangers of level crossings, was regarded as superior to any other method. England was now following America in this connection.
