§ Sir Clive Bossomasked the Minister of Transport if the proposals for revision of the United Nations Protocol on Road Signs and Signals includes recommendation for reflectorisation of road markings; and whether she will propose amendments to bring them into accord with the regulations in force in this country.
§ Mr. John MorrisThe new draft Convention on Road Signs and Signals, which, if accepted, will replace the 1949 Protocol, contains general provisions for the use of reflecting materials for all types of road signs. However, in the chapter on road markings there is no specific reference to the need for reflectorised lines and an amendment to this effect will be proposed.
§ Sir Clive Bossomasked the Minister of Transport what progress has been made on the revision of the United Nations Convention of Road Traffic and the Protocol on Road Signs and Signals signed at Geneva in 1949.
