§ Mr. Knoxasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will introduce legislation forbidding pedestrians to cross roads in larger towns and cities other than at zebra crossings and other similar crossing places.
§ Mr. MarksI doubt whether such legislation would be useful. Limited experience between 1963 and 1969 produced disappointing results, and I am not aware of any evidence from other countries that constraints on pedestrians work without strict enforcement.
