WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TRANSPORT AND TECHNICAL SERVICES BY DEPUTY P.V.F. LE CLAIRE OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 29th APRIL 2008
Question
"Would the Minister advise how much has been spent on road safety improvements and traffic measures in the last 3 years and how much of this sum relates specifically to pedestrian safety?"
Answer
During the last 3 years, Transport and Technical Services has spent a total of £403,000 on schemes that include road safety improvements, £265,000 of which relates specifically to pedestrian safety at road junctions, pedestrian crossings and town centre streets. Of this latter amount, £95,000 has been contributed by other agencies – the Parish of St Helier, WEB and a developer contribution - for specific schemes.
Included in these figures are schemes for the installation of new or improved pedestrian facilities during traffic signal controlled junction refurbishments, improvements to pelican crossings by installing high brightness, low energy lamps and the laying of skid resistant material at junctions and bends.
The department seeks to include safety improvements in all of its road improvement schemes and pedestrian improvements often form part of a larger scheme.
