HC Deb 02 May 1973 vol 855 c315W
Mr. Thomas Cox

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) if he will list the experiments now being conducted by the Road Research Laboratory on developing a "Sleeping Policeman"; and when he expects these speeding deterrents to be installed in residential areas;

(2) when he expects to give approval for the installing of "Sleeping Policeman" in the Greater London Council area, in an effort to deter speeding by motor vehicles in residential areas;

(3) in view of the willingness of the London borough of Wandsworth to allow the Road Research Laboratory to experiment with a "Sleeping Policeman" in its borough, this matter has not been proceeded with by the laboratory; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peyton

I will consider the possibility of trials on public roads in the light of the experiments now being carried out by the Transport and Road Research Laboratory.
