HC Deb 14 May 1973 vol 856 cc252-3W
Mr. Harold Walker

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what steps he is taking to reduce the hazards on the A18 trunk road in the vicinity of Doncaster Royal Infirmary, following the recent accident involving the deaths of three hospital workers.

Mr. Speed

A number of measures have been agreed with Doncaster CBC, which is the highway authority for this length of the A18, including replacement of a zebra crossing by a pelican crossing; closure of the adjacent hospital access to vehicles; extension of the existing 30 mph speed limit; and steps to reduce the number of turning movements at the junction of the A18 and Wentworth Road.
