§ Sir A. Meyerasked the Minister of Transport whether she is aware of the hazards arising from three-lane roads; and what steps she will take to reduce these hazards.
§ Mr. SwinglerThe accident rate on three-lane roads is not significantly different from that on two-lane roads. Nevertheless, I recognise that there are certain hazards arising on three-lane roads,146W especially busy ones. Several existing lengths of over-loaded three-lane roads will be converted to dual carriageways when resources permit. In the short-term, experiments with offset double white lines are in progress.
