§ Mr. Collickasked the Minister of Transport if he will impose a speed restriction on Hendon Way, N.W.2, between The Vale and Cricklewood Lane, having regard to the fact that it is a heavily built-up area, and to the frequency with which collisions occur at the junction of The Vale and Hendon Way.
§ Mr. BarnesNo. The London and Home Counties Traffic Advisory Committee have advised against this in the past and I have accepted their advice. Recent investigation by my technical officers has shown no reason for altering my decision. There have been few accidents recently involving personal injury at the junction of The Vale and Hendon Way. The traffic signals at this junction have been improved and an "all red" period has been included in the phasing of the signals, which should reduce the risk of collision.
