HC Deb 24 November 1927 vol 210 cc2067-8
73. Mr. HAYES

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will secure the provision of powerful are lamps at the cross roads on the Kingston by-pass road in the interests of the traffic, police and pedestrians?

Captain Viscount CURZON (Lord of the Treasury)

I have been asked to reply. Negotiations have already taken place between officers of the Ministry of Transport and the Surrey County Council on the subject of the provision of traffic lights at the cross roads and junctions on the Kingston by-pass road. The details of the lighting, and of other arrangements for the control of traffic, at the junction opposite the Robin Hood Gate have been agreed upon, but these must await the completion of the improvements which are being made at that point. At other crossings on the by-pass it is proposed to erect traffic warning beacons similar to those already erected on other arterial roads.

Mr. HAYES

Will the Noble Lord represent to the Minister of Transport the urgent need for lighting arrangements at this dangerous position on this bypass road?

Viscount CURZON

Yes, Sir.
