§ Mr. Aylesasked the Minister of Transport if he will give top priority to making the lay-out and lighting of Western Avenue and the Kingston Bypass uniform throughout their lengths to enable these heavily trafficked roads to be used to capacity and to eliminate the prevailing obstructions and dangers to traffic circulation due to the mixtures of dual carriageway with single carriageway, cycle tracks and footpaths with no cycle tracks or footpaths, and good lighting with poor lighting or no lighting; and what action has been taken to date to achieve this.
§ Mr. BarnesPlans have been prepared for the construction of a second carriageway on Western Avenue and on the Kingston By-pass where none exists at the moment, and I hope to put the work in hand as soon as labour is available. The problem of lighting these roads is being investigated and I have already before me proposals for the installation of modern lighting up to traffic route standard on an additional length of Western Avenue.
