HC Deb 17 December 1986 vol 107 cc532-3W
Mr. McGuire

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will take steps to introduce a standard procedure throughout the United Kingdom on the operation of traffic lights at crossroads in respect of giving priority at the first change of lights to the traffic turning right.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

There are a number of techniques described in the Department's advice note TA 16/81 for dealing with this type of problem. It is for the appropriate highway authority to determine which technique is best suited in the light of local conditions. A copy of the advice note is in the Library of the House.
