HC Deb 07 December 1987 vol 124 c64W
Mr. Key

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport for what purpose his Department is carrying out an accident prevention exercise in Wiltshire; what form it is taking; which villages it covers; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

The purpose of the study is to investigate accident problems on A36, A303 and A419 trunk roads in the county, and to identify possible low-cost improvements or other remedial measures to improve road safety. The study involves an analysis of the accident records; a review of the physical characteristics of problem sections of the roads; and the development of the remedial measures considered to be necessary.
