HC Deb 18 December 1958 vol 597 cc211-2W
60. Mr. Gresham Cooke

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what further steps he will take to encourage local authorities to place nameplates at both sides of a street or road at intersections with a view to encouraging road safety.

Mr. Nugent

We are not formally responsible for street name-plates but I am glad to take this further opportunity of commending to local authorities the practice of naming both sides of a street at intersections. This was among the measures recommended in our Department's Circular to them on this subject in 1952.
