HC Deb 13 May 1958 vol 588 c20W
Mr. Page

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether he will give an estimate of the variation in accident rate before and after the installation of a dual carriageway.

Mr. Watkinson

Investigations made by the Road Research Laboratory show that the provision of dual carriageways at suitable places reduces accidents. As local conditions vary so much it would be difficult to give any reliable overall estimates of expected reductions in accident rates.
