| Description |
This letter is part of our online exhibition Lachalan Macquarie: Visionary and buidler. Celebrating 200 years since Macquarie became Governor of New South Wales on 1st January 1810 the gallery features documents for our archival collection. Even in 1820 traffic accidents occurred. Still in force today, Macquarie ordered all vehicles to be driven on the left side of the road. This doc is "Government and general order; persons driving vehicles to observe regulations in force in England to keep to the left side of the road" dated 15 August 1820 - NRS 897 [4/1745, page 144; Reel 6049] TRANSCRIPT 144 No 70 15 August 1820 Much inconvenience & delay accompanied by danger of personal injury, arising to persons travelling on the Highways, either on foot or on horseback, or with Cars, Carts, Drays, Waggons, Timber, & other carriages, owing to horsemen & the drivers of the said carriages of every description, either intentionally driving, or suffering their Cattle to cross the Roads, instead of Keeping them steadily on their proper side, the Governor is pleased to order and direct, that all persons driving Cars, Carts, Drays, Waggons, Timber & other Carriages shall observe the same regulations as directed in England, by keeping and driving their carriages of whatever description, on the own left side, commonly called the near side of the Roads, on pain of being fined by a bench of Magistrates, any sum not exceeding Ten shillings of every such offence:- One half where of is to go to the person or persons proving the fact, and the other moiety in aid of the Police Funds:- The constables and other Peace Officers are hereby called on and directed to be vigilant in enforcing this order without distinction of persons, as will answer for the Contrary at their peril.
