HC Deb 28 February 1989 vol 148 cc115-6W
Sir John Farr

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport when he intends to include in the relevant regulations, for use within the highway, speed-activated signs.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

Speed-activated signs may already be authorised by the Secretary of State for appropriate locations. Further experience and research is required before such signs are generally prescribed in the Traffic Signs (Speed Limit) Regulations for use by local highway authorities.

Sir John Farr

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what progress has been made in installing speed-activated signs on roads for which he has responsibility in Leicestershire.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

There are no current plans to install speed-activated signs on trunk roads in Leicestershire.
