HC Deb 17 July 1986 vol 101 cc593-4W
Mr. Adley

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will tabulate for each local authority in England and Wales the number of requests he has received for road humps on public roads and the number which have been approved or rejected by his Department.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

Local highway authorities may install road humps on their own roads without reference to me, provided that they comply with the Highways (Road Hump) Regulations 1983. Some authorities have found these regulations too restrictive. New and more flexible regulations are expected soon following recent consultation with representative organisations.
