§ Mr. Hooleyasked the Minister of Transport what form of lighting will be used on the Tinsley viaduct section of the M1; whether the use of headlights will be allowed; and what study is being made of the effects of the road lighting and vehicle lights on the residential areas of Sheffield within two miles of the viaduct.
§ Mr. CarmichaelLighting will not be provided on the motorway upper deck section of the Viaduct. This is in accordance with general motorway policy. The normal use of headlights will consequentially be allowed. Lighting to the appropriate standard is being provided on the lower deck trunk road section and on the roundabouts at either end.
We have no proposals for a study of the effects of lighting on the surrounding areas.
