HC Deb 28 May 1963 vol 678 cc113-4W
Mr. A. Pearson

asked the Minister of Transport if he is aware of the concern of the employees at the Treforest Industrial Estate at the degree of risk entailed in negotiating crossings of the main road; and what steps he is taking to allay this concern by instituting either over-bridges, under-passes, warning signs or a speed limit.

Mr. Marples

I am aware that there is some concern about conditions in peak traffic hours at this Estate. I have instructed my divisional road engineer to consider means of improving those conditions. It is unlikely that pedestrian over-bridges or under-passes or additional wearning signs or speed limits would be effective. Pedestrians cross at so many points that over-bridges or under-passes for them would probably be little used, and the road is already subject to a speed limit.
