question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to his Department's Local Transport Note No. 2/95, published in April 1995, if he will amend that note to assume a lower walking speed for pedestrian crossing timings.

uin	41252
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/07/2016 answer text <p>Local Transport Note 2/95 provides advice to local authorities on calculating timings for crossings.</p><p> </p><p>The design walking speed of 1.2m/s used in the guidance covers 85% of the population. It is generally felt that this allows enough time for pedestrians to cross, and is long enough to accommodate people that walk more slowly. Where a crossing might be used by a large number of older people or those with mobility issues, for example outside residential care homes, we recommend that this should be taken into account when setting timings. The guidance for crossings is not statutory and local authorities can choose to use a slower walking speed if they deem it suitable.</p><p> </p><p>The Department is considering how best to update guidance, including that on pedestrian crossings, in light of the revision to the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2016 which came into force on 22 April.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 01/07/2016 12:02:58 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones

uin	41333
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/07/2016 answer text <p>The Department for Transport has received representations from Noble Lords and the Retail Motor Industry along with two Parliamentary Questions on mileage fraud during the past year. Mileage fraud is an offence under the ‘Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008’ and the Fraud Act 2006 and is dealt with by local Trading Standards enforcement. It is now a requirement for vehicle mileage to be recorded on the MOT form. This allows consumers to check previous mileages for a vehicle online at the GOV.UK website. Department for Transport and Business and Innovation and Skills ministers are considering whether there are further practical steps that can be taken to address mileage fraud.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 01/07/2016 11:11:50 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
