HC Deb 13 July 1977 vol 935 c186W
Mr. Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Wales (1) whether he will consider ordering that an appropriate accident zone sign or signs be position on the Ruthin-Mold trunk road in the vicinity of Tan-yr-Unto Corner, Llanbedr Dyffryn, Clwyd;

(2) whether he will consider ordering that larger and more prominent advisory speed limit signs than those that are presently in position should be set up on the Ruthin-Mold trunk road in the vicinity of Tan-yr-Unto Corner, Llanbedr Dyffryn, Clwyd.

Mr. Barry Jones

It is not the Welsh Office's practice to erect "Accident Zone" signs and it would not be appropriate to do so exceptionally at Tan-yr-Unto where there has been a substantial decrease in the number of accidents in the past two years. Ample warning of the existence and severity of the bends is given by the many existing signs and road markings, including those which have recently been added. The advisory speed limit signs are considered to be of adequate size, but their effectiveness is being kept under review.
