HC Deb 06 May 1959 vol 605 cc44-5W
69. Mr. G. Jeger

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation how many varieties of white-line markings will be on the trunk roads after 12th May; and what steps he is taking to ensure that they are recognised and understood.

Mr. Watkinson

Under the new marking scheme there will be double lines, warning lines, and lane lines. Some of the old warning and lane lines will remain for the time being. Full publicity has been given to the significance of the new markings.

71. Mr. G. Jeger

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether all non-standard and unauthorised local markings have now been removed from trunk roads.

Mr. Watkinson

The programme for removing non-standard markings from trunk roads under the double white line system is being completed this week.
