HC Deb 09 December 1968 vol 775 cc9-10W
Miss Quennell

asked the Minister of Transport what steps he is taking to ensure that the distance between a sign warning motorists of a turning ahead shall be standardised on all roads.

Mr. Bob Brown

Until now the distance has been determined by the class of road. We have, however, just advised local authorities to fix the distance according to the approach speed of traffic. I think this is more helpful to drivers than a standard distance would be for all roads.
