HC Deb 14 February 1946 vol 419 c154W
Mr. W. Shepherd

asked the Minister of. War Transport if he will now consider overhauling the indication of street names, with a view to ensuring instant readability by day and by night at all street intersections.

Mr. Barnes

Local authorities are responsible for street name plates. I hope that in the light of the recommendations of the Traffic Signs Committee, which are included in a report shortly to be published, special attention will be given to this matter. Uniformity of practice in the display of legible street name plates is very desirable for the safety and convenience of traffic.
