AVERTING TRAFFIC JAMS

SYSTEM AT GRAFTON BRIDGE At the approaches to the Grafton Bridge, Karangahape Road and the Symonds Street intersection, white lines have been laid in Symonds Street to make two lines of traffic. Travelling from the city, motorists wishing to turn across Grafton Bridge keep to the left of the line, and may proceed straight through when the right-hand line, which is for traffic straight urv Symonds Street, is held up by the traffic control officer. The same applies to traffic coming toward the city, and cars for Karan - gahapo Road, by keeping to the left of the line and close to the kerb are able to turn into Karangahape Road without being obstructed by other traffic waiting for the signal to go straight down Symonds Street. A number of motorists have not yet become accustomed to the new system, and occasionally motorists wishing to continue straight ahead get into the wrong line of traffic and. consequently cause an obstruction. The Auckland Automobile Association appeals to motorists to adhere closely to the marking of the road and assist in preventing delay and blockage in traffic.
