HC Deb 24 July 1950 vol 478 cc8-9W
Mr. Watkins

asked the Minister of Transport if he will give the percentage mileage of trunk roads in each county in Wales which have road reflector studs; and what action he is taking with regard to those which have no reflectors.

Mr. Barnes

The information asked for in the first part of the Question is given in the table below:

TABLE
County Trunk Road Mileage Estimated percentage Mileage having reflecting road studs
Anglesey … 21.41 Nil
Brecon … 104.00 Nil
Cardigan … 70.26 60
Carmarthen … 88.04 38
Caernarvon … 76.76 6
Denbigh … 80.06 65
Flint … 42.25 71
Glamorgan … 75.37 25
Merioneth … 104.08 Nil
Monmouth … 91.05 80
Montgomery … 121.18 25
Pembroke … 56.04 60
Radnor … 45.16 5

During this year reflector studs will be placed on lengths of trunk road in Brecon and Merioneth and on additional lengths of trunk road in some of the other counties. At present there is no need for reflector studs on the comparatively straight trunk road in Anglesey on which traffic is light.
