§ Mr. Tom FraserAs the hon. Member will be aware from my Answer to him on 18th June, it has not yet been established that offset double white lines would be suitable for this section of road. The average cost of providing these lines is about £1,000 per mile.
§ Mr. Kershawasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware of the dangers at the Claypit Road junction on the A.38 caused by traffic turning off the A.38 towards Stroud; what proposals he has for improvements at this spot; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mr. SwinglerAccidents have been significantly reduced by the introduction of lane markings. The divisional road engineer will see whether anything further can be done before the opening of the nearby motorway diminishes the importance of this junction.
