HC Deb 14 February 1968 vol 758 cc356-7W
Mr. Onslow

asked the Minister of Transport what consideration she has given to the development and erection of special warning signs, incorporating a flashing light and the words Caution—School Crossing Ahead, for use at appropriate times in the morning and afternoon whenever schoolchildren are obliged to cross roads on which there is fast-moving traffic.

Mr. Carmichael:

Experiments are now being done with a symbolic "school" warning sign which remains a blank until it is switched on, when it becomes internally illuminated in flashes. Below the triangle is a plate with the word "Patrol and stating the distance ahead. A variant of this has an amber light between the triangle and the plate. This flashes with the triangle.
