will, only be Mr. R. E. G. Brown, London secretary of the Traders Road Transport Association, has summarized the arrangements as they affect delivery vehicle;. "There will be no complete loading bans on considerable lengths of street as last year," he explains, "but intersection loading bans similar to those already in force in the parking meter zones will be extended to other parts of the central zone at important or difficult traffic junctions.
"It is also announced that ordinary 'no-waiting' restrictions will be applied to lengths of street adjoining these new intersection bans in order to provide kerb space clear of parking next to them for loading and unloading. • "This is supremely important because it is the availability of these clear kerb spaces in the parking meter zones which makes the intersection bans acceptable and workable.
"From the point of view of loading and unloading therefore much will depend on the extent to which adjoining lengths of street are kept free of illicit parking."
