Speed Limit
Of 15 m.p.li.
Near Port
Police have been active for infringe
ment of the 15 miles an hour speed
limit near the Commercial Road Rail
way Station where the t-vcle track
ends. At this point cyclists using the
track either up or down must cross
the Port road, and for about 100 yards
on both tracks the speed limit applies.
Notices have been painted on the
roadway and signs erected, but it will
naturally take some time before the
motoring public is thoroughly aware
of the requirements.
Several motorists have been timed
over these sections and prosecuted for
exceeding the limit, and it is clearly
evident that the police intend to
rigidly enforce the regulation. Fortu
nately, in the first instances at least,
the magistrate took into consideration
the circumstances and the fact that the
limit was not generally known, and
imposed small penalties.
This may not continue, however, and
motorists are therefore urged to take
special care when approaching or leav
ing Port Adelaide to look out for the
cycle crossings and slow down imme
diately. ^^^^^^^^^^^^
