§ Viscount CURZONasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Transport whether, with a view to relieving traffic congestion, any large experiment has been so far made in one-way traffic in an important artery of traffic in this country; if not, whether such an experiment can be made; whether any experiment has so far been carried out in the direction of prohibiting slow-going horse-drawn traffic in the most congested arteries of traffic during rush hours; and, if not, whether he will make the experiment at an early date in the London area?
§ Colonel ASHLEYI understand that experiments in one-way traffic have been carried out at various times in London, and in a few other large towns in the provinces, but with little success. Various 2175W attempts have also been made to regulate slow-moving traffic to the extent of causing it to keep near the kerb, but I know of no general powers under which horse-drawn traffic could be prohibited from using specified highways during specified hours.
