DRIVERS who stop on or obstruct pedestrian zones should lose three demerit points, the Pedestrian Council of Australia said yesterday. "Stopping on or in front of a pedestrian crossing can be just as dangerous as speeding through a school zone because it obstructs the vision of motorists and pedestrians alike," PCA chairman Harold Scruby said. He said it was "utterly absurd" that motorists travelling in a bus-lane were docked three points while drivers stopping on pedestrian crossings were not penalised. |
