§ Sir T. Beamishasked the Minister of Transport what reply he has sent to the East Sussex Road Safety Council drawing his attention to the delays and difficulties arising from the lack of guidance to local authorities, with particular reference to Seaford, about the instalment of new traffic signs under the regulations that came into force on 1st January; and what advice he is now giving to local authorities.
§ Mr. Tom FraserThe first section of the Traffic Signs Manual dealing with informatory signs (including directional signs) was published last December. Other sections will follow shortly. In the meantime local authorities have been advised to consult the appropriate divisional road engineer if they need any guidance on the use of the new signs. A reply has been sent to the East Sussex Road Safety Council informing them of the position.
