Road Signs and Markings: Cornish Language
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps he is taking to help increase the use of the Cornish language on (a) transport routes and (b) signage within Cornwall.
- Answer
-
The Department has no current plans to authorise the use of Cornish language signs on trunk roads at entry points into Cornwall or on traffic signs within Cornwall.
Even if local authorities believe they have an exceptional need to translate English traffic signs into other languages, there is no provision for this in the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions (TSRGD).
