Mr. Peter Bradley

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what measures he has(a) taken and ((b) proposes to implement the commitment in the Transport White Paper to a more peaceful countryside. [104576]

Mr. Hill

My Department is an active participant in the Countryside Agency's Countryside Traffic Measures Group, and its Quiet Roads and Greenways Network Co-ordination Meetings. We provide support in the form of advice when required on traffic signing, and on highways and traffic matters. Research is in place, and more is planned, to monitor the success of schemes in these initiatives.
