§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Minister of Transport whether he will give for the 496W longest convenient period of time the number of road accidents which have occurred in Hedge Lane, Palmers Green; and, as a means of slowing down traffic and assisting pedestrians, if he will allow a series of pedestrian-operated traffic signals along this stretch of road and thus assist in overcoming the dangers to road users.
§ Mr. MulleyFrom 1st June, 1969 to 30th November, 1969 there were 14 injury accidents in Hedge Lane. Only one involved a pedestrian.
The Greater London Council is the highway and traffic authority for this road, and the need for pedestrian-operated traffic signals is therefore a matter for it to consider in the first instance.
