§ Sir C. Mott-Radclyffeasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that a second fatal accident recently occurred to a pedestrian on Straight Road, Old Windsor; whether he is satisfied that the present proposal to install central refuges is adequate in relation to the volume of traffic; and whether he will now reconsider an alternative scheme for the provision of pedestrian-controlled crossings.
§ Mr. MarplesI have heard with regret of these accidents, but on the information I have I still consider that, for the reasons explained fully in correspondence with my hon. Friend, the present proposal will provide a better solution than signal-controlled crossings.
