HC Deb 10 November 1936 vol 317 c704W
Captain BULLOCK

asked the Minister of Transport how many Cross-Now road signs there are in London and in the provinces; whether they are found to be satisfactory; and, if so, whether he will consider installing them on every possible electric traffic light for the benefit of pedestrians?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

I cannot accurately say how many of these signs there are in London and the provinces, but I hope they will be installed by Highway Authorities wherever traffic conditions allow of a simultaneous stoppage of all lines of traffic. Paragraph 96 of the Highway Code reads as followsUnless there are 'Cross Now' signals do not rely on light signals when you are crossing the road. Pay attention to the movements of traffic, and particularly of turning traffic.
