HC Deb 27 October 1976 vol 918 c255W
60. Mr. Dudley Smith

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what is his latest estimate of the percentage of road accidents occurring at "Give Way" signed junctions; and whether he is satisfied that such signs are prominent enough in their design and location.

Mr. Horam

About 27 per cent. of all injury accidents in 1975 were at junctions with road markings requiring traffic on the minor road to give way, but not all such junctions have "Give Way" signs as well. We are satisfied that the signs are prominent enough. I am sending the hon. Member a copy of guidance given to local authorities about siting the signs.
