Mr. Peter Walsh:

Traffic management and control on the M50 is a project launched by the Minister for Transport, Deputy Eamon Ryan, and the Minister of State, Deputy Naughton, a couple of weeks ago. We can now have variable speed limits indicated on gantries over the motorway. It would be an advisable speed limit for the next year. Depending on traffic volumes and prevailing weather conditions, particularly, an appropriate speed is indicated on the gantry. We ask that everybody observes that speed limit. It makes it safer and improves the capacity. It is safer for road users generally and in the event of incidents, of which there are many on a daily basis on the M50. It is for the safety of the people attending and involved in those incidents.
