A494 (Hansard, 15 July 1992)

§ Mr. Barry Jones
To ask the Secretary of State for Wales which traffic census statistics his Department uses concerning the proposed A494 improvement from the River Dee to Ewloe.

§ Mr. David Hunt
The north-east Clwyd traffic study was used as the basis for these road proposals, a summary of which was sent to the hon. Gentleman on 22 February 1992.

§ Mr. Barry Jones
To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will seek a new census of traffic concerning the A494 improvement from the River Dee to Ewloe which takes into account the holiday peak period traffic flows; and if he will make a statement.

§ Mr. David Hunt
Peak period holiday traffic flows are already taken into account. It is not the intention at present to carry out additional traffic census as such, but information from existing automatic traffic counters will continue to be examined and assessed.

§ Mr. Barry Jones
To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if the statistics on traffic flow used to consider the A494 improvement scheme were taken before the completion of the M53-A55 link; and if he will make a statement.

§ Mr. David Hunt
The projected traffic flows used to formulate the proposals took into account the existence of the M53-A55 link.
