The question as to whether the white lines at the entrances to Ox ford-street, London, where tha new automatic light signals are in "traffic signale” operation, aru within the meaning of the Road Traffic Act was decided in the affirmative at the Marylebone Police Court by Mr. Hay Halkett.
A motorist, who was summoned for failing to obey a red light signal in Orchard-street, drove up to the light signal, which was eight yards over the white line. He con- lended
that he had not committed any offence.
Mr. Gillett, who attended special. ly for the Commissioner of Police to argue the point, contented that the light signnt was an indication when to stop, not where to stop.
Mr. Gillett ad.fed that he could produce a letter from the Ministry Af Transport to the Maryleborne Borough Council stating that white conjunction with the traffle signals, lines would be necessary to use in
and that it was the Intention of the Ministry that the signals should be combined with the white lines.
Mr. Hay Halkett found that the defendant had committed an offence in not stopping at the white fine.
