HC Deb 21 June 1920 vol 130 c1722
68. Viscount CURZON

asked the Minister of Transport what steps are being taken by his Department to deal with the question of dangerous and blind corners in rural and urban areas; and can special attention be given to the use of reflecting devices, such as mirrors, in cases where it is impossible to remove the danger by other means?

Mr. NEAL

Highway authorities have been invited to submit proposals to the Ministry of Transport for the improvement of dangerous and blind corners, and as funds become available grants will be made in aid of such improvements. Reflecting devices have been tried by highway authorities, but have usually failed in their object owing to the difficulty of preventing their destruction.
