House of I Commons that "experience has shown that for safe and convenient operation with vehicles up to 8 ft. wide, each traffic lane needs to be 12 ft. wide ".
This indicated that, even ignoring the length of the vehicle and other toad users, the 20 ft, minimum width for double white line roads gives insufficient room for safe and convenient eperation.
Now that it is proposed to increase the maximum permissible width of motor vehicles of all kinds to 8 ft. 21 in. (one wonders about the odd in. until one realizes that this is 2.5 m.—Europe, here we come!), an increase in this 20-ft. dimension becomes imperative.
