HC Deb 10 November 1992 vol 213 c671W
Mr. Bennett

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport when he expects to publish the advice on grade separation for pedestrians promised in departmental advice note 57/87, published in 1987.

Mr. Kenneth Carlisle

Advice on footbridges is given in departmental standard BD 29/87, and advice on subways TD 2/78 and TD 3/79. The advice on subways is currently being updated and my Department expects to publish a revised standard in 1993.

I am putting copies of the relevant departmental standards in the Libraries of both Houses.

Mr. Bennett

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list, for each class of all-purpose road set out in table 2 of departmental standard TD 20/85, the maximum traffic flow at which he considers it safe for all pedestrians to cross in safety.

Mr. Kenneth Carlisle

Advice on at-grade pedestrian crossings is given in departmental advice note TA 52/87 on the parameters and other factors to be considered when assessing the provision of pelican and zebra crossings.

A copy of the advice note is being placed in the Libraries of both Houses.
