HC Deb 18 November 1991 vol 199 c4W
Mr. Rees

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will arrange for the control times on pelican crossings to be lengthened.

Mr. Chope

The timing of phases at crossings is set on the basis of traffic and pedestrian flows and the width and layout of the crossing. Trials have been carried out with new equipment that provides for the length of the pedestrian crossing phase to meet demand. The results of these trials are being evaluated.
