TRAFFIC CONTROL.
NEW PROPOSALS IN BRITAIN. BILL CIRCULATED. (Received Thursday, 7 p.m.) LONDON, March 16. Radical changes are proposed in the Road Traffic Draft Bill, which has been, circulated for discussion amongst authoritative bodies by the Minister of Transport with a view to' obtaining tho greatest possible measure of agreement. For more than twenty years, there has been no legislation of this kind. The general idea is to supercede ten existing Traffic Acts, many of "which were enacted during tho ’sixties. The chief points as regards motor legislation are the abolition of ten and twenty miles speed limits, tho more drastic punishment of dangerous driving, and the provision of a new offence, namely, careless driving. It is proposed, also to control the issue of licenses to persons physically inept.—(A. and N.Z.)
