§ 22. Sir P. DAWSONasked the Minister of Transport whether he will consider making a regulation requiring posts painted white to be erected every 50 yards or so and/or the curbs to be painted white along our main thorough-fares in cities and main roads in the country, as this would materially contribute to the safety of driving at night and in foggy weather?
§ The MINISTER of TRANSPORT (Mr. Oliver Stanley)I have no power to make a regulation of this nature. Highway authorities can, and do where they think it desirable, paint curbs or erect safety posts defining the limits of the carriage- 329 way. Expenditure on classified roads under these headings is eligible for grants from the Road Fund at the normal rates.
