HC Deb 17 January 1964 vol 687 cc79-80W
Sir R. Russell

asked the Minister of Transport if he is aware that many drivers do not appreciate the significance of some of the signs used by the police to give warning of accidents; and if he will arrange for these signs to be explained on television and displayed in coloured advertisements at suitable places.

Mr. Marples

I hope that Regulations prescribing the new traffic signs recommended by the Worboys Committee will come into operation in July. Widespread publicity to these signs will be given shortly before the new Regulations are made and police signs will be included, In the meantime I am ready to do what I can to see that publicity is given to the present accident warning signs, but it would help me if my hon. Friend would let me know more precisely which signs are causing him concern.

Forward to
