§ Mr. SUMMERSBYasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that at the entrance to the Colnbrook by-pass from London there is an instruction to drivers to turn to the left around an artificial traffic island; that the turning is a short one at right angles to the main road; and whether he will investigate the suitability of this island and its prejudicial effect on good driving?
§ Mr. HORE-BELISHAThe roundabout working introduced in August last at the junction of the Colnbrook by-pass and the Bath Road has resulted in a substantial reduction in the number of accidents at a junction where accidents were previously frequent. The new layout will certainly be kept under observation with a view to determining whether any modification is desirable.
