HC Deb 07 February 1967 vol 740 cc292-3W
Sir Clive Bossom

asked the Minister of Transport what progress has been made in the redesigning of traffic sign bollards; and when it is proposed to prescribe a street bollard as a traffic sign, as recommended by the Worboys Report on Traffic Signs.

Mr. John Morris

The redesign of traffic bollards is now being considered by the British Standards Institution in the context of the revision of B.S.873. My right hon. Friend does not propose to prescribe these bollards as traffic signs at present.

Sir Clive Bossom

asked the Minister of Transport what action has been taken in regard to the revision of British Standard No. 873, 1959 which includes requirements as regards height, width. colour, illumination and reflectorisation of street bollards.

Mr. John Morris

A sub-committee of the British Standards Institution, on which the Department is represented, is currently considering proposals for incorporation in B.S. 873.
