HC Deb 24 February 1967 vol 741 cc351-2W
Mr. Oakes

asked the Minister of Transport whether she will introduce legislation to improve the visibility of temporary traffic signs warning motorists of road works; and if she will make provision that all such signs shall be reflectorised.

Mr. John Morris

The Traffic Safety Codes for Road Works set out the recommended standards to be followed by all concerned with the provision of signs at road works. These Codes are being revised and will be issued as a Chapter in the Traffic Signs Manual.

The Traffic Signs Regulations, 1964, require that all new road works warning signs be reflectorised and that old style, non-reflectorised signs are not used after 31st December, 1968.
