HC Deb 24 November 1969 vol 792 cc35-6W
Mr. A. Royle

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works what consideration he is giving to the possibility of installing graded runnels in order to control excessive speed on certain straight stretches of the roads in Richmond Park.

I am advised that runnels or ramps would be dangerous to light vehicles such as invalid carriages and would be a serious hazard to motor traffic generally in poor visibility and other adverse weather conditions.
