§ 4. Sir R. Russellasked the Minister of Transport if he will now extend the box junction system to other suitable junctions in the Greater London area.
§ Mr. GalbraithIn order to gain more experience of the effectiveness of the system, we are considering extending the experiment to a number of other junctions. Our traffic engineers are at present examining junctions which may be suitable.
§ Sir R. RussellI appreciate the difficulty of reaching a decision too soon over this, but is my hon. Friend aware that his initiative and the Department's initiative in introducing the experiment has given great satisfacton to drivers who have previously had to put up with traffic jams? Can my hon. Friend say whether he has received any opposition to the scheme?
§ Mr. GalbraithGenerally, as far as we have been able to gather, it has been well received, and we hope to be able to proceed with experiments in other areas.
