Road Signs (Tourist Destinations and Facilities) Bill

[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill allows local authorities and transport bodies to install road signs directing drivers to tourist destinations and visitor facilities (such as hotels, attractions, car parks, and restaurants) on public roads. Currently, UK road signs are heavily regulated and tourist signage is restricted. The bill would create a new category of permitted signs, standardizing their design and placement to ensure they're helpful without cluttering roads or compromising safety. This aims to boost local tourism by making attractions easier to find while maintaining traffic safety standards.

Presented by Sir Alan Beith.
