asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Transport whether his attention has been drawn to the closing of Chalk Lane, Epsom, to motor traffic, and to the many cases consequently brought against drivers for the infringement of this order; and whether some better sign than a red disc can be erected which can be immediately recognised and generally understood?

I am aware of the facts quoted by my Noble Friend. I would explain, however, that immediately below the red disc to which he refers a notice board is displayed, measuring 24 inches by 15 inches, which states in bold type that mechanically propelled vehicles are prohibited. I consider that such a notice can be both immediately recognised and generally understood.
