HC Deb 01 March 1972 vol 832 c110W
56. Mr. Atkinson

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if, in view of public uncertainty as to the purpose of the flashing green man phases of Pelican pedestrian crossings, he will take steps to abolish the flashing phase and extend the steady green man phase sufficiently to allow elderly or disabled people to cross the road in safety; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

No. This is an essential feature.

57. Mr. Atkinson

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will obtain a report as to the safest type of pedestrian crossing and take steps to abolish the rest; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

No. Different sites call for different types of crossing.
