HC Deb 11 July 1960 vol 626 cc83-4W
Mr. Eden

asked the Minister of Transport what roundabouts under construction and proposed for trunk roads will be capable of conversion to grade separated junctions

Mr. Marples

The following roundabouts now under construction on all-purpose trunk roads have been expressly designed with a view to eventual conversion to grade-separation:

  • A.30 Staines By-pass—Egham roundabout, (enlargement). Wraysbury Road roundabout.
  • A.1 Junction with South Mimms By-pass.
  • Stevenage By-pass—junction with A.1. at North end.

At many roundabouts which have not been designed in this way future conversion to grade-separation is not precluded and could be carried out eventually where justified. As regards our future proposals I would refer the hon. Member to my reply to his Question on 22nd June.
