PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Road Signs and Markings: Speed Limits (11 March 2022)

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what service target his Department has in place for National Highways to install a speed-activated warning sign along dangerous parts of A-roads, including the A46.

Asked by:
Dame Harriett Baldwin (Conservative)

National Highways does not have a specific target to install speed activated warning signs along the Strategic Road Network. National Highways considers the case for these types of signs on different stretches of road according to the relevant safety data alongside other safety measures such as barriers and lighting.

Following engagement with local stakeholders, National Highways is exploring the possibility of introducing Vehicle Activated Signage (VAS) on the A46 in the Worcestershire area, which is specifically targeted at improving awareness of junctions which are not visible due to bends along the road.
