§ Mr. David Steelasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will consider altering the criteria laid down for pedestrian phases at traffic lights to enable more to be provided on busy main roads.
§ Mr. Gordon CampbellI keep the criteria for distinguishing locations at which pedestrian phases in traffic signals are necessary under continuous review, but I have no evidence at present that they require alteration. My Department intends shortly to issue to local authorities a memorandum of guidance on the criteria for installing traffic signals, in-including advice on pedestrian phases.
