§ Mr. FrenchTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will review the designs of traffic calming measures; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. NorrisThe design of traffic calming measures is the responsibility of individual highway authorities. The Department of Transport works closely with authorities, offering advice on planning and design aspects and collaborating on the development of new techniques. Information on good practice is published in the form of traffic advisory leaflets, which are sent to all local authorities. Over the last few months, for example, we have produced leaflets on design aspects of entry treatments, speed cushions, thermoplastic road humps and road narrowings and chicanes.
