HC Deb 02 November 1908 vol 195 cc746-7

Cases in which applications for regulations have been refused.

Wiltshire County Council. Crab Lane. Proposed prohibition.

Between sixty and seventy notices of objection to the proposed closing of the road to motor-cars were received, and the Board's Inspector reported that it was not so exceptionally dangerous as to justify its being closed. The Board suggested that the case would seem to be one in which it would be of service if notice boards were erected at points where special care was required.

Winchester Town Council. Worthy Lane. Proposed prohibition.

The inspector reported that ordinary motor-car traffic on the road in question could not be regarded as especially dangerous. The lane is nearly straight.

Winchester Town Council. Worthy Lane. Proposed speed-limit (six miles per hour).

The evidence of witnesses at the inquiry was generally to the effect that a low speed-limit would not be of service. In this view the inspector concurred.

Whitehaven Town Council. Two roads. Proposed prohibition.

The evidence tended to show that the roads were hardly ever used for motor traffic. Under all the circumstances the Board did not consider that the conditions then existing called for a regulation.

Maidenhead Town Council. Parts of High Street. Prohibition of heavy motorcars during certain hours.

The circumstances did not appear to the Board to bring the case within the scope of Section 8 of The Motor Car Act, 1903.
