I move amendment No. 21:

In page 15, between lines 14 and 15, to insert the following:

"18. Section 9(2) (as amended by section 86 of the Act of 2010) of the Road Traffic Act 2004 is amended by the subsection for paragraph (a) of the following:"(a) There shall be a speed limit of:
(i) 20 kilometres per hour, which shall be applied in respect of a road within an area defined under local authority bye-laws as a residential area or housing estate but not covered by the provisions of section 7(1A), inserted by the Road Traffic (Amendment) Act 2015, in accordance with guidelines issued by the Minister under this section, and

(ii) 30 kilometres per hour, which shall only be applied in respect of a road or roads (other than a motorway) in accordance with guidelines issued by the Minister under this section.".".

We all will be aware with the issues of rickshaws and the fact that there is no regulation.
