That leads me on to something that has been mentioned already, namely, excessive parking at junctions. One sees this problem along the motorway. I come up to Dublin from Kilkenny every day and I see it all the way up, with excessive parking at the junctions coming off the N9. That is going to cause trouble eventually. At the moment it is manageable but in future, should it be part of the planning process to ensure that parking spaces are made available at such junctions to facilitate car sharing and car pooling? Certain areas are beginning to get very congested. Is the TII concerned, from a safety point of view, about cars parked along the side roads coming off the motorways? Should something be done in terms of planning in the future in order that car parking is provided at motorway junctions? Should that be done when land is being compulsorily purchased for road projects?
