HC Deb 14 December 1981 vol 15 c40W
Mr. Sheerman

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will take measures to make school zone signs mandatory.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

School entrance markings are at the moment advisory. Some years ago the Greater London Council conducted trials with mandatory markings. These trials showed no difference between the effectiveness of advisory and mandatory markings. Another similar experiment has now been undertaken and we will study its findings and consider the case for any change again.
