HC Deb 28 November 1962 vol 668 c53W
44. Mr. Costain

asked the Minister of Transport if he is aware of the concern of pedestrians who cross Piccadilly about the advent of one-way traffic; and what are the statistics regarding the accident rate to pedestrians in that area.

Mr. Hay

The safety of pedestrians crossing the one-way section of Piccadilly has improved since additional warning notices were put on the carriageway in July. In the 12 months before one-way working began in Piccadilly accidents to pedestrians averaged two a month. In the first seven months of one-way working they averaged nearly four a month. Since July they have averaged just over one a month.
