HC Deb 03 March 1999 vol 326 c778W
10. Mr. Fabricant

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what steps he is taking to promote clear signing on roads. [72463]

Mr. Hain

Monolingual traffic signs for use on roads in the UK are prescribed in the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 1994. In order to ensure that bilingual traffic signs are designed to the same national standards, the Department has produced a full set of drawings which have been issued to all local authorities in Wales.

Following the transfer of functions the issue of bilingual traffic signs will be a matter for the National Assembly.
