HC Deb 15 July 1937 vol 326 cc1505-6W
Sir W. Brass

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will consider the removal of all studs from the light-controlled crossings in order that pedestrians may be compelled to follow the light signals instead of imagining that they have special privileges at these crossings as is the case at present?

Mr. Burgin

The markings on the carriageway at light controlled junctions indicate the proper place for pedestrians to cross, to the advantage of both pedestrians and drivers. Paragraph 98 of the Highway Code instructs pedestrians only to cross at controlled crossings when the appropriate line of traffic is held up.
