HC Deb 01 May 1987 vol 115 c242W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will make a statement on road safety conditions on the M4 motorway between the junctions with the A470 and the A48(M); what steps he is taking to monitor traffic density on this stretch of the M4; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

Accident records for the years 1984–86 indicate that road safety conditions on the M4 between junctions 29 and 32 compare very favourably with the rest of the motorway network. Traffic density on this stretch of the motorway is monitored by South Glamorgan county council and current indications are that traffic flows are well within its design capacity.
