§ 61. Colonel DAYasked the Minister of Transport whether any action has been taken by his Department with a view to the provision of new road signposts in order to meet the requirements of modern traffic?
§ Colonel ASHLEYSince the issue by my Department six years ago of a circular to all highway authorities recommending the standardisation of direction-posts and warning-posts, financial assistance has been given from the Road Fund towards the sign-posting of roads. Thanks very largely to this aid, much progress has been made in the desired direction, and I shall continue, as in the past, to encourage local authorities in the extension of this work.
§ Colonel DAYWill the Minister consider having the signposts on the principal arterial roads done in luminous paint, so that they may be read at night-time?
§ Colonel ASHLEYNo, Sir
