Road Signs
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps he is taking to reduce sign clutter on roads.
- Answer
-
The Government are committed to reducing sign clutter. I recently wrote to English local authorities to encourage them to take action, and I have sponsored an award to encourage the reduction of sign clutter. The Department will be revising traffic sign regulations and general directions to provide local authorities with far more discretion about where and when they place traffic signs.
