Unilateral Parking Signs, London

HC Deb 10 February 1947 vol 433 cc21-2

67. Lieut.-Colonel Sir Thomas Moore

asked the Minister of Transport how many signs permitting the unilateral parking of motor vehicles in London streets during certain hours have been erected during the past six months; and what plans exist for the multiplication of such signs during 1947.

Mr. G.R. Strauss

No unilateral waiting signs have been erected in the Central London area during the past six months. The London and Home Counties Traffic Advisory Committee are, however, con Sidering whether further provision for unilateral waiting should be made.

Sir T. Moore

Is the hon. Gentleman satisfied that this measure will overcome the increasing amount of traffic in central London?

Mr. Strauss

No, Sir, but it will help towards that end.
