HC Deb 07 June 1961 vol 641 cc90-1W
42. Mr. Cooper

asked the Minister of Transport if he will make a statement concerning his future policy with regard to flyovers as opposed to roundabouts at all important road junctions.

Mr. Marples

As I explained to the hon. Member in answer to his Question on 23rd November, 1960, I intend to provide flyovers in place of roundabouts at major traffic intersections where this is practicable and the volume of traffic justifies the additional cost. Some roundabouts will, however, continue to be built where they offer the most suitable form of junction. In appropriate cases new roundabouts are so designed as to permit conversion to a grade-separated junction should this become necessary later.
