HC Deb 08 July 1937 vol 326 c578W
Mr. Mitchell

asked the Minister of Transport whether any local authorities have suggested painting the background of halt-signs red or some other easily distinguished colour so that these signs may be more readily picked out by drivers?

Mr. Burgin

One local authority has suggested a yellow background; but evidence is lacking that the change would be advantageous, or, that the cost of painting or otherwise converting signs throughout the country would be justified.
