§ Mr. Buchanan-Smithasked the Secretary of State for Scotland, if he will publish the result of his most recent traffic census on the A94 road, Perth to Stone-haven; and what level of traffic is required before he approves a dual carriageway.
§ Mr. RossThe figures for the last full traffic census on the A94 Perth-Stonehaven Road were given in my reply to the hon. Gentleman on 28th November, 1967, and ranged between 3,152 and 4,180 vehicles per 16-hour day. Decisions concerning roads standards are not based only on traffic levels; such factors as the126W actual delays and accidents occurring and expected traffic growth, set against the cost of reconstruction, are taken into account.—[Vol. 755, c. 86.]
