HC Deb 21 July 1938 vol 338 c2451W
Sir E. Graham-Little

asked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the confusion in the minds of pedestrians as to their rights and obligations at controlled crossings as distinct from uncontrolled crossings, he will issue a pamphlet for the enlightenment of the public on this question?

Mr. Burgin

The respective rights and obligations of pedestrians at controlled and uncontrolled crossings are indicated on page 23 of the supplementary notes of the Highway Code, and advice to pedestrians as to the use of controlled crossings is included in paragraphs 96, 98 and 99 of the Code. Over 20,000,000 copies of the Code have been issued, and, while I will bear in mind the hon. Member's suggestion, I am not at present convinced that there is a case for the issue of a pamphlet on the subject.
