§ 81. Mr. ANSTRUTHER-GRAYasked the Minister of Transport whether his attention has been drawn to the danger of square kerb-stones overturning motor-vehicles in cases of skidding; and whether he will consider the advantages of using bevelled kerb-stones on rural roads in the interests of safety?
§ The MINISTER of TRANSPORT (Mr. Oliver Stanley)It is the practice of highway authorities to fix bevelled kerbs in situations where their use is specially desirable, but I do not think it can be said that square-edged kerbs are necessarily dangerous or that bevelled kerbs would necessarily make for greater public safety.
