§ Captain Pluggeasked the Minister of Transport whether, with a view to minimising the risk of accidents to pedestrians at light-controlled crossings, he will arrange that in the provision of any new traffic lights they will be designed in such a way that the lights are placed at the average eye level of pedestrians and exhibit to them a sign Pedestrians do not Cross when green for motor traffic?
§ Mr. BurginNo, Sir, I am afraid that signal heads at eye level would be a serious obstruction on the footway and would be more liable to be obscured by traffic.
