§ 107. Mr. Robert Daviesasked the Minister of Transport what factors are taken into account in deciding whether to approve the installation of pedestrian crossings on trunk roads; and if she will give weight in these cases to the number of pedestrians crossing per vehicle passing, on the ground that a small number of pedestrians crossing a busy road may be as dangerous as a large number crossing a less busy road.
§ Mr. John MorrisThe present policy is that zebra crossings should be in general use by vehicles and pedestrians throughout the day. But other factors290W have also to be taken into consideration such as width of road, the existence of central refuges, the proximity of other crossings and the attraction of the site as a natural crossing point.
