The T.R.T.A. Annual Report

rOMMENTING that the multiplicity
of traffic regulation orders has put the subject of traffic at the forefront of matters affecting C-licensees, the Annual Report of the Traders Road Transport Association reveals that 57 traffic proposals involved detailed investigation, negotiation or sustained objection last year. Of 40 schemes involving loading bans, three were withdrawn by the local councils, seven were modified, eight pressed to public inquiry, 13 accepted after close scrutiny, three experimental ones were still being assessed and six remained to be dealt with.
The report suggests that the only longterm solution of traffic problems is to segregate the functions of urban roads; this presupposes separate off-street provision for goods loading and unloading.
Other subjects dealt with in the report include the effects of the Common Market upon British transport — a question on which the T.R.T.A. is pursuing discussiOns with the Ministry of Transport and the I.R.U., among other bodies; and the need for a review of the licensing system, which "might sensibly be deferred until the railways had had two or three years' experience of operat7 lug under their new. structure."
