The Loading Ban Menace

RROAD users must be warned against accepting too readily proposals to restrict their movements in a particular town or district, said Mr. P. H. R. Turner, chairman of the Metropolitan and South Eastern area of . the R.H.A., at the Brighton sub-area's annual dinner last Friday.
With the present state of the roads no method of coping with traffic congestion was really satisfactory, he said. Bans on loading and unloading may seem to work reasonably well in one or two places but that was more by luck than by judgment and a good deal of credit was due to the police for their tactful approach and often for turning a blind eye to technical breaches of the regulations.
If local authorities, encouraged by what was happening elsewhere, were tempted to impose loading bans indiscriminately, they would find that all they were doing was to foster a kind of creeping paralysis which could not but impair the efficiency of road transport.
Whether the traffic problem was considered locally or nationally, the first aim and the last must be to provide proper and adequate roads and proper facilities for the people who use them.
