§ Mrs. BrowningTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport whether he will consider relaxing his Department's policy that traffic signs should not normally be provided to direct vehicles to named commercial premises.
§ Mr. KeyI am seeking views from the local authority associations and other interested organisations on proposals that highway authorities should have greater flexibility to provide signs appropriate to local needs. Any relaxation of the existing policy would be accompanied by Department of Transport guidance on the management of signing to ensure safety, clarity and continuity of signing and to prevent sign clutter.
