§ Mr. Shepherdasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what progress is being made by the Road Research Laboratory in the development of a design of cattle grid with a low skid risk and low noise factor when traversed by vehicles.
§ Mr. MarksTRRL conducted relevant experiments in 1960 and found that coating cattle grids—amongst other things—with epoxy-resins considerably reduced the chances of skidding. No development work is currently in hand however.
