§ Mr. Geoffrey Lloydasked the Minister of Transport whether, owing to the number of accidents on the Ml caused by vehicles crossing from one carriageway to another, he will now arrange either to install a crash barrier between the carriageways or greatly to increase the length of road so protected; and what alternative method of minimising these accidents he has under consideration.
Mr. Bob BrownWe are reviewing present criteria as indicated in the Answer to the hon. Member for Warwick and Leamington (Mr. Dudley Smith) on 22nd January and this may result in further lengths of safety fence being authorised. We are not aware of physical measurers of preventing cross media accidents other than safety fences.—[Vol 776, c.129.]
