.POLICE NOT OVERZEALOUS ACCORDING, to the annual report r't of Sir Harold Scott, Commissioner of Metropolitan Police, the police are not wasting time in enforcing traffic laws, He says that there can hardly be less control without allowing road conditions to become chaotic and accident figures to rise.
No-waiting" restrictions have speeded up traffic in main arteries by 10 per cent, and plans are being prepared for short-period waiting on alternate sides of the road in streets carrying heavy traffic, but not of primary importance.
The report rejects the suggestion that traffic wardens might be appointed to relieve the police of some of their traffic-control duties.
