HC Deb 18 May 1960 vol 623 c113W
50. Mr. Lindsay

asked the Minister of Transport when he will announce his proposals to assist to reduce the accident rate on the Stratford-Birmingham road between Monkspath and Shirley.

Mr. Hay

We are extending the "keep left" bollards at the Blackford Lane-Marshall Lake Lane crossroads to form a short length of divided carriageway to help right-turning traffic. We also intend shortly to move the bus stops at the Cranmore Boulevard junction and to provide a bus draw-in. "Blackspot" signs are to be erected, and the Chief Constable of Warwickshire has instituted uniformed patrols, on this road. We will consider applying a 40 m.p.h. speed limit when we have powers to do so.
