HC Deb 06 July 1977 vol 934 cc567-8W
Mr. Knox

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he is satisfied with the operation of the fog warning lights on motorways; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Horam

Control of hazard warning lights rests with chief officers of police, and we are satisfied that their operation is making a major contribution to motorway safety. Earlier flashing amber warning lights are being progressively replaced by more informative remote-controlled signals with an additional panel to show lane closures, diversions, and the maximum speed at which it is advisable to drive.
