HC Deb 14 December 1926 vol 200 c2756
39. Mr. CAMPBELL

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware of the danger to pedestrians in one-way traffic streets of vehicles travelling on one side of the thoroughfare suddenly crossing over to the other; and whether he will take steps to prohibit this practice?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Captain Hacking)

It is an essential part of the "one-way" traffic system that drivers should pass from one side of the thoroughfare to the other in order that they may reach their objectives. I do not know that the practice involved any special degree of danger, if carried out with reasonable care, and the police have been instructed to take action where any instance of dangerous driving is observed.
