HC Deb 24 July 2002 vol 389 c1248W
Mr. Don Foster

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to his answer of 2 July 2002,Official Report, column 217W, on variable road speeds, if he will place a copy of the report in the Library. [70694]

Mr. Jamieson

The trials on the use of variable message signs outside schools formed part of a wider piece of research carried out by the Transport Research Laboratory on behalf of the Department. The results of the trials were unpublished.

However, my Department is preparing guidance in the form of a traffic advisory leaflet on the use of vehicle activated signs. This new guidance will reflect the results and conclusions of these earlier trials. We expect to publish by the end of the year, and at that time, a copy will be placed in the Library.
