HUTT BRIDGE APPROACH.

' * Tar Barrel Hill &t the western approach' to the Hutt Bridge still remains -

a hideous nightmare to all motorists We heard the matter being freely discussed recently by a number of motorists who were unanimous in tbeir condemnation of the obstruction in the fairway. Whatever the views of town planners may be it is quite evident that this method of traffic control, is obsolete and . The white line-

to divide the roadway gives excellent Tesults on tihe Hutt road and on many dangerous corners about the city, and it is the common opinion that t>his line would be preferable to the present primitive method. Approaching the •bridge-from any one of the four eonverg ing points the driver has no means of knowing, until it is too late, in which direetioi*. the oncoming intends to. travel. In some towns' there is a by-law which requires all motorists, when at inter-sections, to indicate the direction in which they intend to travel by- a hand signal, whether an officer is on point duty or not. We would sug-: gest that' this is a rule of the xoad that might well be introduced in this borough and drastically enforced. Apart from any other effect it might have, it would cause drivers to take -a little more time when turning corners and so reduce the number «of accidents.
