7. Mr. Gresham Cookeasked the Minister of Transport whether, with a view to freeing traffic congestion, he will consider progressively eliminating traffic making right-hand turns by one-way streets and other means.
§ Mr. MarplesThere are limits to the extent to which these solutions can be successfully applied in the irregular London street pattern, but I agree in principle that right-hand turns should be eliminated wherever possible, and will apply this measure as widely as I can.
Mr. Gresham CookeIs my right hon. Friend aware that that Answer will give a great deal of satisfaction, since the right-hand turn is undoubtedly one of the worst factors in traffic congestion?
