HC Deb 15 July 1959 vol 609 c409
52. Mr. Russell

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if he is aware of the frequent traffic congestion, even outside peak hours, at the junction of Bayswater Road and Westbourne Terrace, Paddington; and if he will arrange for the installation of traffic signals.

Mr. Nugent

To obtain a satisfactory signal scheme, Bayswater Road would need to be widened by taking in land from the Royal Parks. Victoria Gate itself is now being widened; before deciding on the complicated signal system which my hon. Friend's suggestion would require, we would like to see the effect of this improvement on traffic movement.
