HC Deb 15 November 1966 vol 736 cc92-3W
Mr. Ted Fletcher

asked the Minister of Transport in view of the hazards of driving during fog, what steps she is taking to ensure that local authorities are carrying out an adequate programme of marking roads with white lines.

Mr. John Morris

Highway authorities are strongly recommended in Chapter 5 of the Traffic Signs Manual to make extensive use of road markings because these materially add to the safety of traffic and ensure full and proper use of road space. They are also advised about the appropriate use of road studs and of reflectorised paint for road markings.
