In Samoa, Too!
Campaign for More Road Safety
APIA, April 10.
RADICAL changes in the traffic laws of Western Samoa have been introduced by the Gov ernment as from April 1, 1954. Be fore new licences are issued to passenger vehicles like motor buses and taxis, far-reaching require ments in respect of equipment, brakes, size, safety, cleanliness, and fitness of engines must be met; and some of the old-vintage vehicles which have in the past disgraced Samoan roads will probably be con demned. The number of motor buses and taxi-cars is steadily increasing —and so are the traffic risks —and the Police Department is to be complimented on the new campaign for road safety.
