§ 31. Captain CROOKSHANK (for Mr. RAMSBOTHAM)asked the Minister of Transport if, in view of the recent level-crossing accident near Lewes, he will suggest to the railway companies that they should display at some distance from each level-crossing a night-illuminated sign, which would under any circumstances attract the attention of motorists?
§ Mr. PARKINSONThe erection of the authorised road warning sign, indicating approach to a level-crossing, is a matter for the appropriate highway authority rather than for the railway company. My Tight hon. Friend is in communication with the highway authority on the subject of the need for warning signs at the crossing where the accident in question took place.
