HC Deb 05 May 1993 vol 224 c166W
28. Mr. Bellingham

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how many miles of motorway and dual carriageway in Scotland do not have crash barriers installed.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

There are 19 miles of motorway and 106 miles of trunk road dual carriageway in Scotland without central reserve safety fencing. This represents approximately 10 per cent. of motorways and 33 per cent. of trunk road dual carriageways. A rolling programme is underway to install central reserve safety fencing on these remaining sections of the network by the end of the 1994–95 financial year.

Records are not kept centrally for non-trunk road dual carriageways, for which regional councils are responsible.
