§ 62. Mr. Pilkingtonasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that on the main road through the new housing estates between Prescot and Liverpool there is, in spite of a recent extension, still a mile and a-quarter stretch in which traffic is allowed both ways on both carriage lanes; whether he will make this road conform to the general practice; and whether, in view of the numerous tramway crossings and side roads on this stretch, he will cause more halt and other safety signs to be set up?
§ Mr. BurginI have intimated to the county council my readiness to confirm their order providing for one-way traffic on these carriage-ways. The provision of 1165 warning and other signs is primarily the responsibility of the highway authority, but I will cause inquiries to be made into the matter.
§ Mr. PilkingtonIn view of the number of accidents on this part of the road, will the right hon. Gentleman do what he can to expedite this matter?
§ Mr. BurginYes, Sir.
