§ Mr. Lewisasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if, in his review of road safety measures, he will include necessary measures to ensure that, where provided, all pedal cyclists must use their cycle tracks and that all mechanically-propelled four-wheel vehicles must have automatic traffic indicators.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydAs regards cycle tracks, I should prefer to avoid compulsion in the hope that cyclists will, in their own interests, make full use of them in accordance with the Highway Code. It is intended eventually to make direction indicators compulsory, but there are technical problems in the fitting of these devices to heavier vehicles which have still to be solved.
