HC Deb 13 February 1948 vol 447 c135W
1. Mr. T. Macpherson

asked the Minister of Transport if he will seek powers to provide that, when road repair works are in progress, and one-way traffic is operating, the local authority or contractor, should be obliged to have a rope or suitable fencing along the curb to prevent people inadvertently stepping into oncoming traffic.

Mr. Barnes

When roadworks are in progress and one-way traffic is operating, there is usually some form of traffic control, and if ordinary care is exercised, there should be no special danger.
