§ Sir M. Galpernasked the Minister of Transport whether, while recognising the onus on the driver to drive in accordance with the prevailing conditions, he will, without delay, equip the M.1 and other motorways with advance illuminated warning signs which have proved their worth on the M.5.
§ Mr. Tom FraserThe experiment with remote controlled warning signs on M.5 has been in operation for only a short time202W and it is too early yet to draw firm conclusions from it. We must await the results of the experiment before deciding whether it is suitable for all motorways.
I am, however, proposing to conduct some trials with a simpler and less costly warning system on a section of M.1, but it will not be ready for use this winter.
