A novel suggestion to regulate the speed of motor-cars was made by.. Or. Piper at a meeting of the Petone C:duncil, that, failing the success of the; proposed speed by-law, asphalt crossings be laid down, at intervals on the Hutt road. These, he said, would,, by virtue of the “bump” they would give to any car travelling at a high, rate of speed, successfully cope with the excessive speed difficulty. Oars travelling at a slow rate of speed and other vehicles would be able to negotiate the crossings which would be 'raised slightly above the road level, with'ease and without danger. ,
