NEW ZEALAND ROADS
FAVOURABLE COMPARISON (By Telegraph.—Press Association) AUCKLAND, Monday “New Zealand's system of traffic control is a compromise between that of England and America,” said Mr R. E. Champtaloup, touring manager of the Automobile Association (Auckland), when interviewed after an eight months’ tour of America, Britain and Europe. He considered the Dominion’s highways system compared favourably not only with those of overseas countries of similar size, but that the main roads under the jurisdiction of the Highways Board were equal to many of the main highways in Britain. Mr Champtaloup said modern roadmaking provided for two lanes of traffic divided by a grassed strip in the centre of the road at important intersections. The clover-leaf system of planning for the removal of the dangers of level crossings was regarded as superior to any other method. England was now following America in this connection.
