§ 35. Colonel DAYasked the Minister of Transport whether it is intended to extend throughout London the system of the erection of signs, Please cross here, now in operation in Parliament Square, so that the public should be better acquainted with authorised crossing-places?
§ Colonel ASHLEYIt is proposed to extend this experiment to Trafalgar Square, Marble Arch and Oxford Street. If it appears in the light of the experience thus gained that these notices sensibly reduce accidents, I hope that the local authorities concerned with undertake further signposting on the same lines.
§ Colonel DAYWould the Minister consider the question of recommending the erection of these signs at the Elephant and Castle, in the borough of Southwark, where it is particularly dangerous to cross the roads?
§ Colonel ASHLEYI think we had better experiment in these other areas first of all then we can go on to other places.
