HC Deb 06 December 1966 vol 737 cc293-4W
Mr. Kitson

asked the Minister of Transport what discussions she is having to install flashing lights on roundabouts on fast stretches of road to give adequate warning in bad weather conditions; and if she will make a statement.

Mr. Swingler

These flashing lights would have to be switched on and off by the police and we do not think their in stallation for the sake of bad weather would be justified. Such roundabouts are normally lit at night and are preceded by a number of reflectorised warning signs. Drivers should drive within the limit of their visibility in bad weather and should be prepared for obstructions like roundabouts, stopped and slow moving vehicles.
