HC Deb 23 January 1959 vol 598 c65W
Sir A. Bossom

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether he will consider the adoption of the procedure, which has been satisfactory in certain other capital cities, which requires pedestrians to act in accordance with lights which read "Walk," or "Don't Walk."

Mr. Watkinson

"Cross" and "Wait" signs are in use at some traffic light signal installations in London. I have at present no power to make these indications mandatory on pedestrians, but will bear my hon. Friend's suggestion in mind as a possibility for future road traffic legislation.
