HC Deb 28 January 2002 vol 379 cc63-4W
Mr. Kidney

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions what plans he has to issue new guidance on road signage to(a) the Highways Agency and (b) other highway authorities. [30756]

Mr. Jamieson

We are currently consulting on draft revised guidance on the provision of traffic signs to tourist attractions and facilities on trunk roads and local roads in England, which we expect to publish in the summer. We are also preparing updated and revised Traffic Signs Regulations for publication later this year, and will be issuing guidance for all highway authorities on the changes made to the 1994 regulations, as well as publishing revised chapters 4 and 5 of the Traffic Signs Manual on the design and use of warning signs and road markings.
