NEW CROSSING

PLACES

First Day's Trial In London.

(Special Air Mail Service)

London, June 14. While": official observers at the crossing places for pedestrians in Londan expressed themselves satisfied yesterday that they mark- a definite advance in the cam- paign to reduce

road accidents, there was general agreement that some time may elapse before the scheme is working successfully.

As was to be expected on the Brst day of such an experiment there was some contusion at busy junctions of the main shopping districts, due partly to the ner- vousness of driver and the mid- ity of pedestrians. It was obvious that the regulations had not been mastered by either class. even if they had been read

Representatives of the Ministry of Transport and Scotland Yard's Trafic Department and officials

of the Automobile Association were in the watch to see whether any adjustments in the scheme were necessary.

In view of their obvious lack of knowledge drivers and pedestrians may be reminded that, as stated by the Ministry of Transport, the crossings will fall in their purpose unless drivers snc pedestrians alike recognize the obligations placed on them. The regulations provide that pedestrians must ret obstruct a vehicle proceeding in the general line of traffic move- ment-te... straight ahead-but that vehicles turning at right an- gles must give way to pedestrians using the marked crossings,

To Cross or Not

One observer, who has studied traffic problems both at home and abroad, expressed the view hat the success of the scheme would de- pend on whether the authorities provided signals telling pedestrians when to cross and not to .cross. At present. even at Trafalgar Square, where there is an "all- red". period "during, which traffic is stopped for pedestrians, no in- dication of this appears on the signals, To watch the traffic lights is a matter of difficulty and sometimes dangers for pedestrians. for this means that they have to step off the roadway and peer round he corner. If signals were fitted with special faces which clearly read "Cross Now" and "Don't Cross" all doubts would be removed. In some places, how-

ever, the maximum safety would only be secured by some device, similar to one in use at Croydon, enabling pedestrians to operate
