Roads: Traffic Signs

Question
To ask Her Majesty’s Government why they paid £199,975 to the consultants AECOM for two projects starting this year to research ““the awareness of the meaning of traffic signs”” and ““the effectiveness of area-wide parking controls””, given their commitment to reduce public spending, particularly spending on consultants.
Answer

These research projects will enable the completion of the ongoing traffic signs policy review. The review aims to ensure that future policy on traffic regulation and signing is based on strong evidence and provides wide-ranging benefits and cost savings through more efficient and better-understood road networks.
