HC Deb 21 April 1980 vol 983 c46W
Mr. John Carlisle

asked the Minister of Transport if he will consider allowing extra time for pedestrians to cross the road at pelican crossings.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

The evidence is that present pedestrian crossing timings are generally adequate. Trials of certain minor modifications are, however, about to start, and if these suggest that some adjustment would be beneficial we will consider changing the timings.
