§ Mr. Jannerasked the Minister of War Transport whether, in view of the rapidly increasing load of traffic on the roads, he will issue a reminder to motorists that pedestrians have a right of way at all pedestrian crossings.
§ Mr. BarnesAll drivers of vehicles and cyclists should approach a pedestrian crossing at a speed which will enable them to stop before reaching the crossing. I hope that the publicity which will be given by this Question and answer will be sufficient to remind road users of their obligations. During the war there was a certain laxity in the observance of the Pedestrian Crossing Places Regulations, but the police have been asked to give special attention to the matter, and I hope that their efforts will help to increase the general standard of road behaviour.
