HC Deb 07 June 1967 vol 747 c200W
50. Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Minister of Transport whether, as a means of increasing road safety and avoiding accidents, she will extend the rule of giving way to traffic on the right at roundabouts to a rule of giving way to traffic on the right; and whether she will initiate a slogan campaign to this effect.

Mr. John Morris

No. The roundabout rule is virtually universal. Elsewhere, a general rule would need numerous and confusing exceptions, as it does abroad. The signs, including road markings, which are being provided at junctions to distinguish the minor from the major road are much clearer and safer.
