HC Deb 24 July 1968 vol 769 cc120-1W
70 and 71. Mr. Raphael Tuck

asked the Minister of Transport (1) what steps are being taken to place traffic lights and other safety devices at the junction of the A41 and Woodmere Avenue and the Meriden Estate, Watford, in view of the serious accident, including fatalities which have occurred;

(2) whether he will consider imposing a 40 miles per hour speed limit on vehicles coming off the M1 on to the A41 at Watford.

Mr. Bob Brown

We intend to instal traffic lights at the junction with Wood-mere Avenue as soon as the equipment can be obtained and to extend the dual carriageway to the junction with Tudor Avenue. We shall also advertise a proposed 40 m.p.h. limit between the Dome roundabout and the river Colne. In addition, I understand that Watford Borough Council are planning to introduce traffic regulations to control use of the side and service roads at the Wood-mere Avenue junction.
