Dept for Transport

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what progress he has made with improvements to non-motorised user crossings of trunk roads in England; and what plans he has for further progress.

Answer: Mr. Kidney: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what progress he has made with improvements to Non- Motorised User crossings of trunk roads in England; and what plans he has for further progress. [222203] Mr. Jamieson: By 31 March 2003, the Highways Agency completed surveys of all Non-Motorised User (NMU) crossing points on the trunk road network and drew up a provisional list of improvements, which would offer good value for money. The Highways Agency has completed approximately 90 discrete NMU related improvement schemes and plans to complete at least a further 14 such schemes in 2005-06. This figure does not include those NMU improvement elements that have been incorporated into other larger projects for delivery as part of the Government's Targeted Programme of Improvements. Progress on delivery of NMU crossing improvements will continue to be monitored by the Agency.
