question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what action they are taking to deal with traffic congestion in towns and cities.
tabling member printed	Lord Bradshaw
uin	HL3693
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/12/2015 answer text <p>The Government has an ambitious strategy for tackling congestion in our cities and towns and improving performance on our roads. This strategy includes providing significant investment in both our strategic and localroad network, as well as working with highway authorities and Local Enterprise Partnerships to encourage more sustainable transport including buses, light rail and walking and cycling.</p><br /><p>In addition, Part 2 of the Traffic Management Act 2004 (&quot;the Act&quot;) specifically places a Network Management Duty (NMD) on each local traffic authority in England to manage its road network to secure the expeditious movement of traffic on its own network and to facilitate the same on the network of other authorities. Coordination of activities and actions between authorities is an especially important element of network management.</p><br /><p>The Act is intended to provide better conditions for all road users through coordination and proactive management of the road network. It provides a key tool in the Government's strategy to tackle congestion through a range of initiatives including for example, better management of street works in order to minimise disruption and delivering fairer systems for civil parking and traffic enforcement.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 02/12/2015 14:57:42 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government why they decided that all grey speed cameras should be painted yellow, and what safety benefits they expect to result from that change.
tabling member printed	Lord Berkeley
uin	HL3585
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/11/2015 answer text <p>The Government has always been clear that speed cameras are for smoothing traffic flow, reducing congestion and enhancing safety rather than for revenue raising. All working grey speed cameras are being painted yellow within a year to make them more visible, so that motorists know the cameras are there.</p><br /><p>The purpose of this particular type of camera is to enforce variable speed limits on smart motorways which smooth traffic flow and help reduce congestion. The safety outcome of this change in colour will be monitored by Highways England.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 26/11/2015 14:30:30 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
