§ 49. Mr. Russellasked the Minister of Transport what progress is being made with the installation of traffic signals for guiding pedestrians at busy intersections in the London area.
§ Mr. HayWhere one-way schemes have been introduced, "Cross Now" signs have been incorporated in traffic signal installations providing 41 crossings at 25 junctions during the last 18 months. A further 28 crossings at 21 junctions will be provided as soon as the equipment is available. Elsewhere, numerous other "Cross Now" signs have been provided and others will be provided as and when they are justified. We hope, before long, to mount the pedestrian control experiment which my right hon. Friend announced last year. This should greatly help pedestrians to cross the road safely at busy intersections.
