“Basically all streets in Areas A. B, and C with the exception of Queen. Great George. Graf- ton and Water are one way streets in or out of town.
“In Area A there is no left hand turns except off or on to

"A left hand turn will have to be made from Great George to Grafton as this is the through route of the Trans Canada High- way but as we have already ex- perimented with this. and due to the variation of traffic at this corner. this poses no problems. At other corners most right turns pose no problems at the moment as the pedestrian move- ment is not too heavy. Left_ turns in most instances conflict both with pedestrians and other traf-
