§ Mr. ThurnhamTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many local authorities are known to have installed speed restricting measures, such as road humps, in residential areas; and when his Department will have completed the revision of regulations aimed at the wider installation of road humps.
§ Ms. HarmanTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport when he will lay before Parliament the revised road hump regulations.
§ Mr. AtkinsRoad humps and other speed restricting measures are installed by local authorities at their own discretion. Consequently, no central records are kept. The appropriate use of road humps should make a significant contribution to the safety of local roads and we aim to bring the new regulations into force before Easter.
