HC Deb 23 January 1980 vol 977 cc295-6W
Mr Crouch

asked the Minister of Transport (1) if he will authorise the inclusion of a flyover junction at the Barham crossroads on the A2, in view of the great danger which still exists on this main route to the port of Dover;

(2) if he will institute a special inquiry into the number of accidents and the high death rate at the Barham crossroads on the A2 since traffic lights were installed there.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

Though the death rate at this crossroads has fallen since traffic lights were installed in 1975, the casualty rate continues high. We have investigated the problem and are considering whether a scheme for grade separation should be added to the trunk road programme.
