TRAFFIC CONTROL
To the Editor "N.Z. Times.” Sir, —An incident occurred this afternoon calling for special mention as showing the weak point in the attempt to make traffic work smoothly. A youngster on a bicycle tried to pass through a pack of people who were boarding a car at the Charlotte street terminus. I was next to the cyclist at the time he was “tooting/' and I told him he was breaking a by-law. The conductor of the car told me it was no business of mine, and a constable who was present added “yon ought to have been a lawyer. What do yon know about by-laws? There's no such by-law anyhow." The by-law refers to the control of traffic between a standing car and the footpath. I have never seen it observed. If the by-law is on the council books and the police don’t know it is there, it is time some one woke up. In any case all the talk and print about traffic control can only be accounted tho merest fudge while the A.B.C. of the business remains in the clouds. —I am, etc., HENEY BODLEY. February 18th, 1913.
