Speeding Causes Many Accidents In Queen's Road E
Mr A. Morrison, Superintendent of the Traffic Department, this morning pointed out the seriousness of traffic accidents in Queen's Road East, between Kennedy Road and Hennessy Road, an area with a speed limit of 20 miles per hour.
In 1955, he said, there were two fatal, 12 serious and 68 minor accidents in this particular section of the road, which, he said, was one of the most congested in the Colony.
:
This high rate of accidents, he said, was largely due to motorists disobeying the speed limit.
