§ 32. Sir F. Medlicottasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if he will introduce regulations whereby on traffic roundabouts precedence must be given to traffic approaching from the right.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterNo, Sir. While I appreciate that there is some argument 580 in favour of this, on balance I am very doubtful whether this would lead either to greater safety or better traffic flow. My Departmental Committee on Road Safety also takes this view.
§ Sir F. MedlicottIs my right hon. Friend aware that a comparable principle has been accepted with considerable success in many foreign countries?
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterMy hon. Friend may be aware that in Western Germany, where it has operated for some time, the authorities are now expressing grave doubts as to whether it has helped.
