HC Deb 08 April 1964 vol 692 cc205-6W
45. Mr. Dempsey

asked the Minister of Transport if, in order to minimise road accidents, he will arrange that at all road crossings controlled by traffic lights a few seconds elapse while the lights in both directions remain at red before a change in traffic flow is permitted.

Vice-Admiral Hughes Hallett

No. Each case must be considered on its merits and a decision made in relation to the amounts of traffic both pedestrian and vehicular.
