Proceeding contribution from Lord Bellingham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 8 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Road Safety Bill [Lords].


Road Safety Bill [Lords]

The hon. Gentleman is speaking a great deal of sense about road humps. I agree that the people who complain that their cars are damaged are obviously going far too fast. One of the problems that I have come across in my constituency is the displacement of traffic on to roads that do not have road humps. I can think of an example involving four roads that are all parallel. Two of them have traffic calming involving road humps and the other two do not, and all the traffic has been displaced to the two that do not. The issue of traffic engineering is complex and must be thought through very carefully.
