§ Mr. Brian Parkynasked the Minister of Transport what criteria he takes into consideration before authorising the removal of a slow sign and double white lines from the side road of a T junction and replacing them on one of the other two roads at the junction.
Mr. Bob BrownIt is the responsibility of the highway authority to decide the relative priorities of roads at junctions, after considering the site in relation to safety and traffic flows.
The criteria for the consequential use of the "Stop" and "Give Way" traffic signs, as indications of priority, are held down in the Traffic Signs Manual.
