HC Deb 30 July 1959 vol 610 c160W
86. Lady Gammans

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation, in view of his two years' experience with the double white line experiment on certain roads, how successful it has been; and how much official guidance has been necessary.

Mr. Watkinson

I am satisfied that the double white line road markings are improving traffic behaviour and promoting the smoother and safer movement of traffic. Guidance to the motoring public has been given by explanatory signs on the roads and by local and national publicity in the Press, and full details are contained in the new Highway Code approved by Parliament which I hope will be on sale in the late autumn.
