Lay-bys and Hard Shoulders

HC Deb 28 July 1971 vol 822 cc108-9W

Mr. Redmond

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is his estimate of the relative safety of lay-bys as compared with a recognisable full-width continuous hard shoulder.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

Lay-bys have different functions from continuous hard shoulders and it is impracticable to compare their relative safety values.
