"JAY-WALKING" AGAIN
Napier Pedestrian Zones Being Disregarded PENALTY PROVIDED " Jay-walkers" on Napier streels may eoon find that their wandering tendencies will bring them under the notice of the police and of the Magistrate. A disregard for the pedestrian zones marked out at the principal intereections in the shopping area is growing among shoppers, and it is pointed out that a penalty is provided for jay walkers. It is possible that in futur* offenders will be punished. The pedestrian zones were marked out before Christmas, and after severa; people had been warned most pedestrians kept scrupulously to the rostricted area between the lines aeross the intersections. No close eupervision has been exereised lately, however, and the old habit of strolling diagonally across the intersection in the path of approaching traffie lia.s crept in again. It is also notieeable that most visitors pay close attention to the zones and use them but that residents of the town seem more apt to disregaTd them. Shortly after the zones had been marked out a traffie offieer remarked that the majority of people he had warned had been motorists.
