GLASGOW Corporation highways committee has Approved major restrictions in the • use of city-centre streets in an effort to relieve congestion. The city engineer and chief constable have supported the plan, which will introduce a one-way traffic system for many streets, ban loading and unloading of goods over a wide area between 8 and 9.30 a.m. and between 4.30 and 6 p.m., and enforce even more strictly car parking in the city centre.
The scheme should come into force before the end of the year and although representations have been made that the proposals are too severe, the corporation is unlikely to give way.
The R.H.A. and T.R.T.A. have both protested against the ban on commercial operations. They are anxious to assist in the reduction of congestion, these bodies say, but not to the extent of accepting regulations which hit commercial operation; morning deliveries are particularly vital and any ban on loading and unloading in that period could be serious.
