§ 105. Mr. A. Edward Daviesasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that many motorists completely ignore pedestrian crossings; and whether he will take steps and, if so, of what nature, to deal with this source of danger and discourtesy.
266W
§ Mr. Barnes:Yes, Sir. Motorists should show every consideration for the needs of pedestrians, particularly children, the aged and the infirm, in the spirit of the Highway Code. The Police will continue to do what they can to assure proper observance of the Pedestrian Crossing Places Regulations, but in the long run the value of these crossing paces must depend on the willing cooperation of all classes of road users.
