HC Deb 02 March 1926 vol 192 cc1237-8
69. Colonel DAY

asked the Minister of Transport if he will recommend the Traffic Advisory Committee to consider, as an experiment, the painting of a broad white line or band to denote the crossing for pedestrians where the gyratory traffic control is in operation?

Colonel ASHLEY

The technical officers of my Department are considering, in conjunction with representatives of the Metropolitan Police, whether any further measures can usefully be taken to safeguard pedestrians where the gyratory traffic system is in operation, and I am referring to them the suggestion of the hon. and gallant Member.

Lieut.-Colonel DALRYMPLE WHITE

Would not the simplest plan be for pedestrians to be instructed to cross only at the refuges?

Mr. H. WILLIAMS

Will my right hon. Friend take into account the approaches to this House from Victoria Street?

Sir H. BRITTAIN

What is the use of the lines if traffic continues to gyrate?
