HC Deb 05 July 1979 vol 969 cc700-1W
Mr. Anthony Grant

asked the Minister of Transport what information he can make available as a result of his Department's experiments on road humps as a means of controlling vehicle speeding.

Mr. Fowler

A report on the first five experiments is being published today and copies are available in the Library. The conclusion is that suitably located humps can substantially reduce vehicle speeds, traffic flows and road accidents. I welcome, therefore, my hon. Friend's introduction of a Bill permitting their installation on a permanent basis by highway authorities.
