A34: Lighting

Asked by Mr Lee DillonLiberal DemocratDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 3 July 2025UIN 63273

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department is taking steps with National Highways to install LED cat’s eyes on the A34.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

National Highways is responsible for the maintenance and safety of the A34. The A34 has approximately 0.5 million metres of longitudinal road markings, with a legacy of associated road studs of various types. Surface-mounted road studs are typical, although more robust embedded studs are used where necessary, such as at centre lines near junctions.

LED flush solar road studs have already been installed at several locations on the A34, including around the West Ilsley, Chilton, Milton, Hinksey Hill, and Botley junctions, to improve nighttime visibility.
