§ Mr. Laurence RobertsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what guidance he has recently issued to local authorities on the number of road crossings to help people who are(a) disabled and (b) partially sighted; and if he will make a statement.[145379]
§ Mr. McNultyLocal Transport Notes 1/95 and 2/95 cover the general assessment and design of road crossings, respectively. The latter includes guidance on installing audible and tactile signals to help disabled pedestrians at signalled crossings. In addition, we have issued specific guidance on meeting the needs of disabled people, including blind and partially sighted people, in "Guidance on the Use of Tactile Surfaces" (1999) and "Inclusive Mobility" (2002).
