§ Mr. Andersonasked the Minister of Transport whether she will extend the system of alternate sections of double white lines which exists, for example, on the A.614 between Nottingham and Bawtry to other three-lane highways, such as the A.48 between Newport and Chepstow, where the accident rate is unusually high.
§ Mr. SwinglerIt is not proposed to extend the use of this system until we have assessed the effectiveness of the trial lengths. We hope to make an announcement very soon.
The application of the system to the A.48 in Monmouthshire is, of course, for my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Wales to decide.
