HC Deb 17 February 1977 vol 926 cc325-6W
Mr. Trotter

asked the Secretary of State for Transport to what extent Continental style traffic signs are to be introduced; and what steps are being taken to educate motorists in their meaning.

Mr. Horam

It has been the policy of successive Governments to bring traffic signs in this country into line with those in general use in the rest of Europe. The full range of signs was set out in the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 1975 and the new Highway Code will illustrate the most important of them. A more extensive description is available in the booklet "Know Your Traffic Signs", published in 1975. I am sending the hon. Member a copy.
