HC Deb 03 July 1984 vol 63 c91W
Mr. Bellingham

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will instal crash barriers along the full length of the Al in England; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Chalker

Safety fencing is added to all-purpose dual carriageway trunk roads at specifec locations where the accident records show that a particular safety problem exists, and where improved safety can be achieved economically by installing the fencing. The record of cross-over accidents for the full length of A1 in England is similar to that of all other dual carriageways and there is no economic justification for making such provision along its entire length.
