HC Deb 30 November 1966 vol 737 c113W
70. Mr. Dodds-Parker

asked the Minister of Transport what action is being taken to design traffic islands which will stop a vehicle without damaging the vehicle or the island as much as the standard island does.

Mr. John Morris

Traffic islands must be rigid with vertical kerbs in order to give protection to pedestrians. We do not consider it would be possible to afford this protection without risking some damage to vehicles which run into them.
