§ 63. Viscount Hinchingbrookeasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether he is aware of the increasing traffic congestion at Alexandra Gate, Hyde Park, since the installation of traffic lights; and whether he will have tests made of traffic density at various times with the lights extinguished or differently phased, with a view to improvements.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterI agree that some congestion arises at peak times at Alexandra Gate but I cannot accept the implication that this is due to the installation of the traffic-control signals. Iam making a further examination of the problem to see whether any improvement can be effected.
