HC Deb 01 May 1935 vol 301 c360
21. Mr. H. WILLIAMS

asked the Minister of Transport what steps have been taken to improve road direction signs throughout the country and, in particular, to provide for their visibility at night?

Mr. BORE-BELISHA

In 1933 highway authorities were informed that the Minister accepted the Report of the Departmental Committee on Traffic Signs which included recommendations for the improvement and standardisation of traffic signs and for the illumination, either positively or by means of reflectors of certain signs of a mandatory and warning character. Highway authorities were reminded in this matter in February last.

Mr. WILLIAMS

Will my hon. Friend tell me what happens about direction signs which tell you how to get to places, and not the signs warning you not to do certain things?
