§ 28. Captain Pilkingtonasked the Minister of Transport how many official road signs now exist in this country bearing the words, "Going slow?", "Let others pass", and "Use the lay-byes".
§ Captain PilkingtonWill my hon. Friend say why not? Would it not be a good idea to have such signs, and are there not often very long queues held up by slow-moving vehicles ahead, such queues running sometimes into scores or even a hundred vehicles? Is my hon. Friend aware that such signs are used in Switzerland, where they work very well, and will he consider the matter again?
§ Mr. HayYes, we will consider it. I had not heard about this idea until my hon. and gallant Friend put down his Question. We will certainly consider whether there is any advantage in having signs of this kind on certain roads in this country.
