MAGISTRATE COMMENTS ON FAST TRAFFIC
COMPLICATIONS AND DANGERS OF NEAR FUTURE (From Our Resident Reporter.) WELLINGTON, Friday. This fast-moving age has provoked comment from Mr. J. G. L. Hewitt, S.M., when presiding at an inquest yesterday. He looked a few years ahead to the time when the motor-car will have the road all to itself and other traffic diverted to the side channels. The mixed traffic problem, he said, was complicated by trams and motor-cycles and horse vehicles, all claiming Ihe right-of-way. He saw particular dangers in Christchurch where, ‘‘there are so many roads converging there are hundreds of narrow escapes and pedestrians have to watch fche speed of cycles, horses and motors, avid while looking out for high-speed-ing vehicles are swept off their feet by slower-moving traffic.”
