HC Deb 10 February 1982 vol 17 c401W
52. Mr. Michael McGuire

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will take steps to allow traffic turning right at crossroads controlled by traffic lights some priority, especially where there are no designated lanes for traffic turning right.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

The present traffic signalling systems allow special provision to be made for right-turning traffic where this is needed. My Department has issued advice on the use of traffic signals to highway authorities, and it is for them to decide the most suitable method of controlling traffic at any junction for which they are responsible.
