§ Sir Ian Orr-Ewingasked the Minister of Transport if she will cause to have removed the road markings on A41 put down to guide traffic on to the temporary flyover built for the construction of the M1 southern extension; and whether she will inform highway authorities, and agent contractors generally, that all road markings and temporary signs are to be completely obliterated or removed at the same time as, and whenever different directions or markings are provided, in order to prevent confusion and consequent danger to road users.
§ Mr. SwinglerThese road markings had been covered. They became exposed and have now been removed.
305WThe chapter of the Traffic Signs Manual on road markings, which was issued to authorities last February, reminds them to obliterate or remove redundant markings. The Traffic Safety Code for Road Works, which will be incorporated in the Manual, deals with the removal of unnecessary signs.
