§ Mr. Roger Kingasked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will now make it his practice to collect statistics on accidents on motorway contra-flow systems.
§ Mrs. ChalkerRoad accident statistics cover all reported motorway accidents involving personal injury, but they indicate only whether roadworks were present. There are no plans to record the presence of contra-flow systems. However, a Transport and Road Research Laboratory study of contra-flow sites operating in 1982 will be published before the end of the year, and this will cover the safety aspects.
