§ Mr. Lomasasked the Minister of Transport (1) why signs prohibiting pedal cyclists have been erected on the Croydon Flyover, in view of the fact that the flyover has not been designated a special road and is subject to a 30 miles per hour speed limit; and if he will make a statement;
(2) if, in view of the fact that the prohibitory signs on the Croydon Flyover were erected with the approval of his Department although no traffic regulation order had been published, he will ensure that the signs are removed until he has consulted with the cyclists organisation and other interested bodies; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. MarshResponsibility for the "no cycling" signs erected on the Croydon flyover lies entirely with the London Borough of Croydon which has applied to the Greater London Council for the necessary traffic regulation order. I understand that the Council will be recommended to advertise the proposed "no cycling" restrictions shortly and invite representations. Meanwhile the Council has asked the London borough to remove or cover the signs.
