Baroness Vere of Norbiton (Con)
My Lords, the Government set out guidelines for local authorities on road markings and all sorts of different things on the streets. We are currently looking at revising these but, of course, for most roads across the country, it is for local authorities to make sure that they are marked up appropriately.
Lord Flight (Con)
My Lords, would not the solution to this issue be an automatic system that comes with any car purchased?
Baroness Vere of Norbiton (Con)
I am grateful to my noble friend, as that is precisely what we are looking at. Indeed, it was the UK that asked the UNECE to look at the automatic systems available, do the research and assess whether they should be implemented in new vehicles. The discussions on this matter will proceed in April 2023.
